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!

And the issue isnt the BB links. Its the fact Public folders can host HTML pages at present. They've also been a depreciated feature now for many years. Its hardly an unexpected move

This is wrong, public folder support for hosting web pages was already removed a while ago.
There is no technical reason that links web hosting and individual file hosting on dropbox. One of my uses for dropbox was to host forum images and videos. Now all those links will be broken.
This is a greedy customer hostile move that will cost far more in bad publicity than you can even begin to imagine. I'm moving back to a web host like nearlyfreespeech on my own domain so this can never happen again.
- I'm just now starting to share this with fellow bloggers, friends and forums. Dropbox - do the right thing and reverse your stance. One upset customer can undo the Cost per acquisition for many. Business 101.
