Dave - do you use dropbox?

If so, and use the public folder to share photos, files and such, you're about to get screwed.

I do, and so do others. There are going to be hundreds of tutorials, posts, PCBs, schematics that are about to disappear this year.

Al sorts of images on the web will go poof!

Hi _______,

We’re always looking to improve the Dropbox sharing experience. The Public folder was the first sharing method we introduced, and since then, we’ve built even better ways for you to share securely and work together with your team.

As a result, we’ll soon be ending support for the Public folder. Dropbox Basic users will be able to use the Public folder until March 15, 2017. After that date the files in your Public folder will become private, and links to these files will be deactivated. Your files will remain safe in Dropbox.

If you’d like to keep sharing files in your Public folder, you can create new shared links. Just make sure to send the new URLs to your collaborators.

In addition to shared links, we have a number of sharing options designed to make collaboration easier and give you more control. To learn more, visit our Help Center.

I don't.

Well, that's unfortunate.  Dropbox pulling it's "public" folder is going to be a shit show across many forum and tutorials online. Images will go "404" and never to be seen again. It's kinda a bid deal.

Way more then your rant on the drop cam stuff.  I was hoping on a good rant from you.  Oh well. Carry on!
