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!
Well thank you Dropbox for changing the rules after the game started. It looks like come September 2017 I'll be dropping Dropbox since you no longer will let me have the Public Folder I signed up for when I subscribed many years ago. I have years of public links in thousands of posts to dozens of web forums that link to pictures and short videos in my public folder. With one broad arbitrary decission, and without asking your paying custoers how it will effect them, you've negated my only reason for being a Dropbox customer. And you have not provided any workable option for myself and the others on this forum who you have placed in the same boat. I can't begin to describe how angry I am right now for this brain dead decision you have forced down our throats.
Let's get organized and cancel these subscriptions
- One of the main reasons I subscribed to Dropbox was the easy use of public folder. I will be canceling my subscription to Dropbox if this decision is not changed.
- Honestly other services are cheaper than Dropbox. The only reason I stuck with it was because of the public folder.
- No doubt, my subscription will be cancelled. If I had known this, I would have never, ever purchased a membership. I have thousands of links out there and this is going to be a monumental job just to get things back to normal .... ON ANOTHER SERVER, NOT DROPBOX. If it ain't broke, dont fix it. this certainly will lead to a substantial drop in ongoing subscriptions like mine.
