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!
I'm off, dropbox. I can't even bring myself to say "goodbye" or "farewell" because I wish you neither.
Whoever's in charge - you should be ashamed of yourself, you greedy avaricious individual. You represent everything that's rotten in the world.
I committed to you more than 10 years ago because of your public links system. I have 10 years worth of images sitting across many forums - all of which now will disappear. You do not value people, communities or free thought - you just value wealth.
At one stage you were part of the next generation of online identity and creation. Now you have become your own dads.
For everyone else - buy yourself a cheap home server + host your own cloud - I'd recommend Resilio Sync. They no longer own the means to production.
It all just confirms what I've known all along - never be owned.
It'll be interesting to see whether this post remains, but will provide fine measure to me of what dropbox's true values are...
In the communication about the end of shared public folders, it never occurred to me that the links of hosted images inside would be made obsolete. Like DropBoxNoMore, I have links to images in various forums and emails that are now gone. It would be impossible (literally) to edit old forum posts and sent emails.
I hope this isn't the way it's going to be or I too will find something else and obviously stop recommending dropbox to family and friends.
Its not the way its GOING to be.
Its the way it IS.
Understand that Dropbox had the lead, and stumbled, now they are just some flailing running 20 yards short of the finish line, hoping for a buyout before they sink. Saddly its more likely to be a bye-out than the other.
hoping for a buyout before they sink.
Rumour is they're planning to go public.
I imagine it will be a terrible IPO.
They will soon fail.
It would seem that there should be a significant outcry from this.
Any point of holding out hope for dropbox coming to their senses?
