What to replace Dropbox Public folder with?
The Public folder was the only feature of Dropbox I use. Now that is gone what are people replacing it with? Any suggestions? I've canceled my Dropbox account, but am not sure how I'm going to replace that functionality with another service.
If you want to send the link via email, well, yes. If you just want to post the file to a public forum or other such location, then all you need is the link.
It's shared folders that require an email address (and the recipient to have a Dropbox account). Share links do not.

Any web host will work. And remember, the Share Links in Dropbox still allow you to create links to your files and use them just as you would have with the Public folder.- How? As far as I can tell you have to know the email address of the person you wish to share the file with?
