Ending support of public folder
Just heard from dropbox that support for the public folder is ending.

As a result, we’ll soon be ending support for the Public folder. Dropbox Pro users will be able to use the Publ...
- 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!
Thank you so much, Dropbox, for messing up all of my photo links by killing the public folder. Your move to "improve the Dropbox sharing experience" is whimsical at best. If you're reading this, you can see there are 16 pages of posts indicating this is not an improvement to the Dropbox sharing experience.
"create new links for all your files"
Yeah, how the f*** should I know what, where and when I shared stuff from my Public folder 5 years ago? They don't even show up in the "shared links" section on the Dropbox website so I can't even check what I shared...
I'm not paying 100 bucks a year for you guys to change a function that's critical to the stuff I do, if you remove that feature I'm forced to go to another cloud storage hoster.
Great... so i need to rewrite one of my application, which is used to download a small file from public, and read things from it, as not just the public folder support ends, but the direct file access with it. In current public if i share the link for a file, it starts as a download. With the share option first a web page loads that ask to register, then i need to click on proceed to dowload, and THEN i get the file. The automatic application can't do this, just a simple http download. So i need to move to another server, and stop to use dropbox.
BTW which "manager" invented this thing? What was the corporate BS with it?
