No, you still choose which files and folders to make linkable. Anything you give a url to you should consider to be public anyway.

- helium 16y agoStill a good analysis of using the security by obscurity model for URL's
- bdonlan 16y agoWhat else would you suggest? This is equivalent to randomly generating a username and password.
- brlewis 16y agoI think you're overstating the risks of random URLs. Unlisted cell phone numbers are not considered public even though you give them to all your friends and to every nearby cell tower. Credit cards are not considered public even though you might hand yours to a lot of strangers.
- herrherr 16y agoBy default all my folders are linkable. Can you tell us how to change that?
- stricken 16y agoThey're only linkable AFTER you choose to get the link for them. Remove linked items here: https://www.dropbox.com/share#tab:linked-items https://www.dropbox.com/share#tab:linked-items
- instcode 16y agoMy first thought is how to unshare a folder and thank God, it's already been there: https://www.dropbox.com/share#tab:linked-items https://www.dropbox.com/share#tab:linked-items So, if you feel like "I wanna share this folder to the wild world, now!", just do it! You can change your mind at anytime later and the folder will be no longer accessible. Very intensive, careful design & implementation!
