Can I make my large DropBox Picture Heirarchy into a monetized web page?

Can I make my large DropBox Picture Heirarchy into a monetized web page?

I have roughly 225,000 pictures, all organized into 20,000 keyword searchable folders and I would like to make this photo archive available for people to view and search.  This photo archive is a comprehensive reference of antique fishing related collectibles and I believe it would be very useful for a significant number of people.  I'd like to find a way to let people look through this archive by them paying a membership or access fee.  I know upgrading to Pro gives me the right-click-disable feature which I will need to protect my content but I don't think I can use the "send link" feature because it can be easily copied and shared with people who haven't gone through the paywall.  How can I securely monetize my picture archive?  Thanks in advance for your help.

That's not something Dropbox does, and they've closed down their (short-lived) Dropbox Shop product. You'll need to find a third-party service capable of that, perhaps one that works with the Dropbox API to access your content.

Thanks, yeah I looked into DropPages.  I emailed them with questions and no one replied.  Unfortunately you can't play around with the functionality unless you commit to the product, which I don't wanna do until I'm sure it'll work.  Maybe someone out there has worked around these issues and can share their experience?
