I gave up on Dropbox when I could no longer open the context menu of a file in my Dropbox folder and click the "get link" button and then paste it to someone.
It used to be a very useful piece of software.
- the_bear 6y agoThis is still a feature. It's actually "Copy dropbox link" but it's very much still there. Here's a screenshot of the feature I'm sharing with the feature itself: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w2wju3uzvz2jont/context%20menu.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/w2wju3uzvz2jont/context%20menu.png...
- izzydata 6y agoThis isn't a direct link to the image. I'm pretty sure they removed it so that you couldn't use them as an image host.
- the_bear 6y agoYeah. I'd argue this is quite a bit better. People can comment on the image, add it to their dropbox, view entire galleries, preview things like word files that couldn't open natively in the browser. And it doesn't make it any harder to just look at the image if that's what you want. It seems very reasonable to me that they're not designing for the use case of people who are trying to host images for their website directly from their Dropbox folder. That was never what Dropbox was meant for.
- StavrosK 6y agoI had the same frustration and I made https://imgz.org/ https://imgz.org/, which I like. YMMV.
