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!
Hi,
I have an important problem with the ending of the public folder.
I edit a scientific electronic journal which I send to its subscribers using the public folder. But I don’t send the link of the folder: each subscriber receive a personal link with his personal copy watermarked with his name.
With the public folder it is easy to build the appropriate link automatically for each subscriber, knowing the name of his file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/000000000/FileName. This abled me to create a script with which I can send individual emails to each subscriber.
The problem is that out of the public folder it seems to be impossible to create the individual links automatically. Here is what I get with two files in the same folder:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uusutcqs9myc4/FileName1?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/b73x1bj6t9fd1/FileName2?dl=0
The result is that I should create links individually for each of the subscribers: approximately 10 hours per month (just impossible) instead of 5 minutes today…
Any solution?
Thank’s
