Once-upon-a-time dropbox had a built in screenshot tool that could upload to your public directory.
It was always a pain because I was forever having to determine which of onedrive or dropbox had taken print screen handling away from my preferred screenshot tool (at the time, greenshot, now ShareX)
- TeMPOraL 3y agoThe more important aspect of that story: your public directory. Once upon a time, you could actually link to content in your Dropbox directly. Like, not to some Dropbox interstitial, but to files themselves. dl.dropbox.com/u/[your user ID]/path/to/file.ext would let anyone access the file.ext under [Your Dropbox "Public" directory]/path/to/. Insanely useful, which is why it both helped Dropbox gain massive userbase, and why it became one of the earliest victims of enshittification.
