    LGM - the issue is that people are abusing it and causing issues for everybody by getting the Dropbox domains blacklisted which cause emails to fail and downloads to be blocked by firewalls etc.

    In terms of changing the extension, sorry, no idea how you would do that!

Does Goggle cloud storage support the equivalent of Public Folders?    I'm looking for any solution that I can use to replace Dropbox.   I'm paying $99 a year for a service they promised to provide.   Now that they've decided to give me the middle finger and not honor their part of the contract, I'm looking to bail on them like a hot rock through snow.

 

Please, anyone who knows of an online file sharing service that still has integrity to not screw over their paying customers, and provides what Dropbox promised but feels it no longer has any obligation to provide, please let me and the others here know about it.
