Can I use dropbox in China?

1 I hope that I could use Dropbox in China because I used to stay both sides between China and America. It would be inconvenience for me to open and use the links to open my files in Dropbox in China...

Hi,
1. Unfortunately the Chinese government has blocked access to the Dropbox website and to most of the Dropbox servers. As this is beyond our control there is currently no solution we can offer for this problem.
2. New Dropbox accounts no longer receive Public folders by default. Instead of Public folder links, check out our more flexible sharing feature that lets you create a link to files or folders anywhere in your Dropbox and control access to them:
