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 r...
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.
Where is the share link option? I uploaded an image to the Public folder and clicked on the "share" button.

Dropbox StaffHey ikomrad, welcome to the Dropbox Community!
You'll have to click on the Share button that's next to the little arrow you're clicking on to share the file.
Let me know if you have any other questions! :slight_smile:
- I figured it out. I clicked on the share button , which open a form to send an email invitation. I almost closed the form since I need to share the file on a public tech support forum.
However, at the very bottom of the page , in very small font at the bottom right , there is a link labelled "share link instead" .
If you click on that , you are prompted to create a shareable link. Once you have done that, the link is copied to your clipboard.
All that , instead of putting simple and obvious "share link" option in the pull down menu. :(
