Dropbpx I truly dislike that you stay you don't need an account to view shared files and you DO!!!!

You do not need an account to view a file that was sent with a Share Link. You do need an account if the files were shared with you via a shared folder.

 

even in the public folder you need to have an account

Even when the Public folder was still active, you never needed an account to view a file. The Public folder is a deprecated feature which only exists for a small percentage of users, and they will be losing the feature in September. It was replaced by Share Links in October of 2012.
