Users of Dropbox have been notified that Dropbox will no longer be supporting the Public Folder option where people could place files they wanted to share through a Dropbox generated file link. This will be devastating to every Dropbox user who has published links to files and images to various forum boards like this Vegas forum. I know that personally, I've been posting hundreds of links to my files and images to the Sony Vegas forum for many years; all of which will become broken when Dropbox kills their Public Folders.

Dropbox has said that they will provide a way of generating Public Links to any file placed in any folder in a users account, as a way of keeping existing functionality. But this idiotic idea completely ignores that potentially millions of links from thousands of Dropbox users to public files will be broken, and would require an enormous investment in time and resources to regenerate new links as replacements for all those that have been posted over the years.

What I'm looking for is another file sharing service similar to Dropbox that I can switch over to once Dropbox pulls the plug on my shared files. I realize this will not do anything to fix the problem Dropbox created. But, at least I'll know I will no longer be a customer to a company that pulls the rug out from under it's loyal paying customers.

If you have any suggestions for a file sharing service that can provide web links to files that can be used by forum boards like this Vegas forum, I'm open to hear them.

Thanks.
