Has Dropbox changed how html files are shared?
Last week I could use the public link to an html file in my browser and it would display. As of today, every browser I have on both Mac OS and Windows now gives a pop window asking what to do with th...
Yes. As per emails HTML stopped being rendered/displayed on the 1st of October. After that they would download only for free users. Paying users have until Sept. 2017
Why did Dropbox change things so that HTML is no longer rendered/displayed when someone clicks on the public link? This seems like a major disservice. If Dropbox is going to keep this new policy, can anyone suggest other cloud services or web hosting services that do provide the functionality that Dropbox used to provide?

Super User IIIt was being abused too much.
I am a paying user for a few months. One of our major business uses is to have an image repository on the Public folder. Most of our web pages have links to /dl.dropboxusercontent.com/xxx. Is Dropbox going to give us an alternative solution for discontinuing the html rendering?

Dear Friends:
I think this is not a real "workaround", because links to shared files do not work as html <img> tags so they can not "serve" an image to be displayed in a web page, the way it used to be by means of the Old Public folder.
. My opinion is that as paying users we deserve a real solution to this issue.
