Direct links are convenient for me, the end user. That's why I use dropbox -- to have an easy way to put files up onto the internet to show others.

- CrazedGeek 14y agoNot my point. To the person who's receiving your link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9910153/20111022_131203.jpg https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9910153/20111022_131203.jpg looks more or less identical to: http://i1.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/000/720/180px-Gmodlogo.svg.png http://i1.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/000/720/180... Both are direct links, and neither tell you much about the site that you're downloading the pictures from. The indirect link actually tells people that Dropbox exists as a service. Whether that's better for the end user or not isn't relevant to what I said.
