Dropbox Public Folder

- It will still be called Public, however, all links within it will cease to work.
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?

No.
Once the Public folder stops working (March for free users, September for paying) all links to it will fail.Shame on you, Dropbox, for letting down your loyal paying base of users in such cavalier fashion.
