Ending support of public folder

- 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.

Hello Everyone,
I'm an Android app developer and I'm really disappointed to know that Public folder support is ending on March 15, 2017. Till now, I have developed only one android app which downloads files which I uploaded to public folder of Dropbox. I just copied the public links and put in the app to download. And there are over 100 files :(
Now my fear is that after March 15, my app will become unusable. My question is if Dropbox is providing some different method to share DIRECT links? Is there no way existing links may work?
Isn't there any way or should I move to Drive or somewhere else? Thank you everyone.
