A staffer (?) mentions further down that almost no one was using their Public folder, so I really doubt that the average Dropbox user wants any of the things you listed.
Dropbox is a file storage and sharing service, not a CDN or web host. Just because it could be hacked to make it a CDN or web host doesn't mean those things are highly desirable to customers or good for their actual business.
- AgentConundrum 14y ago> almost no one was using their Public folder I almost exclusively use my public folder. I mean, I keep things in other folders as well, but my main use case is typically "I want to send this file to $friend, so I'll just save it in my public folder and send them the link."
- anxrn 14y agoThey made it easier to do this. You can send a public link to any file anywhere in Dropbox now.
- Centigonal 14y agoNo, now it's saddled with weird arbitrary restrictions and a URL tree that makes no sense. Sorry for the tone -- I'm a little frustrated.
