I understand that the current sharing functionality of the Public folder will change on or about March 15, 2017; my question is: will the NAME of the Public folder change on or about March 15, or will it still be called Public?

I work in Public Safety with many different agencies. I have used the public folder to share files without much input from the user. A QR code was issued during an incident and daily maps were placed in this folder for the user to retrieve. Will this function still exist?

Shame on you, Dropbox, for letting down your loyal paying base of users in such cavalier fashion.

Their use of the word applies because the Public folder was deprecated in October 2012 when Share Links replaced the functionality. From that point forward, new accounts no longer received Public folder, and only Pro or Business accounts could still create one. The feature was deprecated.
As of March 15, 2017, the feature is no longer deprecated; it's simply gone for Basic users. It will be gone for Plus and Business users in September of this year.
