To me, this should be done very very visibly and with tons of warnings. I used it to communicate screenshots with details, etc. Now all links are broken and I'm SOL with no viable solution to changing those links from documents, bugs, etc., etc.
Very very very bad!
This was amazingly awesome because: I could teach people how to make a website, and how to have on the internet, in minutes. Having said that, I haven't had that public folder in many many many many many years. So I'm surprised about this announce. If anyone knows a quick way to let anyone do what I described above, please do tell.
I relied on this "light" publishing for a few things and I'm quite pissed off. I did not notice any notification on this. To me, this should be done very very visibly and with tons of warnings.

I was under the impression those where disabled long ago. Tor is always good if you need a quick easy way to publish something without a public IP address
How exactly does Tor replace the ease of publishing something with Dropbox?
But that's not really the same problem.

S3 buckets with the website feature enabled, but you have to pay for usage and I don't know of a way to emulate Dropbox's local filesystem integration with S3... at least not one that's accessible for nontechnical users.

Well this isn't suitable for "normal" users but I use SyncThing to sync a folder on my computer to a server running Apache.

However, one can still blame Dropbox for the change itself. I used this on several occasions, including hosting archives for academic publications. No way in hell I can change those links. Maybe that wasn't a wise choice, but at that time it looked like a good way: The link did not give a clue about my identity, making peer review easier, and DB being a well-funded and known internet company those links were surely meant to work forever, cool URLs don't change is something they had to know. Boy was I wrong.
