Important changes to the Dropbox public folder

Dropbox accounts created after October 4, 2012 won't have a Public folder. If you'd like to quickly share files you can use a shared link. Shared links work even if the person you're sharing with doesn't have a Dropbox account.

Dropbox Basic (free) users

As of March 15, 2017 the Public folder in your Dropbox account has been converted into a standard folder. By default this folder is private to your account. This transition will occur automatically.

Here's what you need to know:

All of the files in your Public folder will remain safe, but public links to those files will stop working
If someone visits a link to a file in your Public folder, they'll see an error page
To see a list of your public links, visit the Public folder—any file in this folder will have previously had a public link associated with it
Dropbox can't convert existing public links into Dropbox shared links
If you'd like to re-share any of the files in your Public folder, please use a shared folder or shared link

Basically dropbox has removed the last reason for me to use them

Basically dropbox currently has public links for shit thats in your public folder, like below:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/956 ... elhaul.png

Using the img tag I can post these directly on the forums, etc.

After the 15th of this month the only links you'll be able to use are these shitty share links

implying (((dropbox))) isn't just as bad
buy our premium guys

Lumbermancer · Sat Mar 04, 2017 9:44 pm

You've mistaken my comment for a defense of Dropbox. Nonetheless Dropbox doesn't force itself into Windows, and company behind is isn't a conglomerate with a history of sketchy anti-privacy practices.

Just found out this morning. It was literally the only reason why I used it.

>They're even removing it for paid users

No reason.

this is sorta off topic

Dear anyone using gyazo: fucking stop, sharex lets you use any image host, is a better program all around, and gyazo images take 3000000 years to load

lntigracy · Post by **lntigracy** » Mon Mar 20, 2017 11:47 pm #270807

See above but replace gyazo with puush.

Well theres no more convenient right click > copy public link thing anymore, so thats a change.

Btw, how are you getting the https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com links instead of https://www.dropbox.com ones?

lntigracy · Post by **lntigracy** » Tue Mar 21, 2017 12:10 am #270820

ShareX does those automatically, or you can manually change it when you right click copy public link (which is still there)

lntigracy · Post by **lntigracy** » Tue Mar 21, 2017 12:11 am #270822

Aka change https://www.dropbox.com to https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com
leave the rest as it is

although its good to have sharex on the side as well, it does gifs and videos which most other programs of its nature cant do

Qbopper · Post by **Qbopper** » Tue Mar 21, 2017 12:36 am #270843

I used to use puush and gyazo and even ignoring the security memes sharex is so much nicer my god

Post by **oranges** » Tue Mar 21, 2017 1:29 am #270876

file.house has no ads, no viruses and is run by very trustworthy reputable people

420weedscopes · Tue Mar 21, 2017 2:17 am

I meant don't use puush either because it's trash.

Use ShareX with some image uploader, I use dropbox because of the mentioned video capabilities.

Malkevin · Post by **Malkevin** » Tue Mar 21, 2017 8:45 am #270981

Well, even if you can change the link now dropbox has made a business decision to remove that functionality, so don't be surprised if they patch out hot linking

Literally nothing that you've described in this thread has actually happened.

Malkevin · Post by **Malkevin** » Tue Mar 21, 2017 2:51 pm #271078

Yes Int, the copy public link option on the context menu is still there and links using the old public links still work, don't they... retard.

Like I said above, just because there's currently a back door work around doesn't mean you'll still be able to hot link in a few months, they can very easily disable that.

lntigracy · Post by **lntigracy** » Tue Mar 21, 2017 3:20 pm #271082

It is still there and they do still work?????
