My friends got a message to join Dropbox when viewing a shared link

[cbush456]

Pro's:  Dropbox did exactly what I wanted.  Sending a link of a .mpg cloud file slideshow video to a bunch of my friends.  They just clicked the link in the email and enjoyed my video.

Con's:  Well not exactly.  Those without Dropbox account got WEB login page.   In a number of places in Dropbox documentation it say "No account necessary".  But what is left out is "but we are going to bug you to get a account."

Sorry: I'm not going to be a part of selling Dropbox.  I'm looking but not finding a alternative platform.
