That's kinda crazy. I did read an article that says you can still use the 'Get link' option. Is that not working for you? Other options to DropBox : Google Drive; SugarSync; Cubby; your personal web server. Mark Comments Interesting! I didn't know they had removed the public folders for new users. That's kinda crazy.

I have a couple apps that have content hosted on a web server (not HTML content). You could easily get a free web host for that use.

You can still create a public folder in dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/help/16/en Cheers! -- Smug Comments Dropbox hasn't 'removed' public folders, they're just not there 'by default' anymore.
