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've already discontinued using my pro dropbox, I consider that 100$ just a loss (they announced this just weeks after I signed up).... I have found better accommodations for my particular needs. so for me it all worked out just fine without them, I hope all their customers leave like like rats on a ship. They better not charge me automatically for another year when my pro expires.

You signed up for a subscription service, so unless you cancel it before then, you will be charged, and rightfully so.
The ending of the public folders really concerns me, as I have spent YEARS posting content on web forums, including several of my own as personal blogs.
I confess I have not read 33 pages of this discussion, but can anyone tell me if all my content links will be lost, and if so, how to avoid this happening?
- Yes the links will all be broken and lost, there's no way of avoiding it, and no, Dropbox refuses to reply to any concerns and has even deleted suggestion threads on other ways of dealing with the situation.
Do yourself a favor and start moving to a new program now. There'll be no helping the links you've already posted unless you have means to edit them. And yes, this is a giant crotch-punch to all of Dropbox's users, particularly the many PAID ones who gave them real money for this service they're discontinuing.As a result of this announcement, I am actively looking for an alternative to dropbox.
