Ending support of public folder

Dropbox - public folder = ftp site with no access, less functionality, no sharing. The new share page is useless. Who asked for that?
Broken links all over the web.
I can move most of my files elsewhere, except 1Password key. Not sure where I can move that securely.
Like everyone else here, I signed up for Dropbox, and went pro just for the fact that I can easily upload from my computer, and get the direct link. Removing this ability really removes my reason to use Dropbox. I'll be sticking around for a few more months until I find a replacement, or hopefully this announcement gets rescinded.
If its for sure, I'll need to figure out an alternative service which can let me quickly upload, and get a direct link.
- Same exact reason for me. I've been using Dropbox over other services solely due to the ease of the public folder. Especially for image and file hosting for projects over the years. This is going to result in a LOT of dead links.
