Una din facilitățile utile de la DropBox era sharing-ul de fișiere cu oricine de pe internet - folosind folderul “Public”. Copiai un fișier acolo, Right-click în Finder, Copy public Link, Passte unde vrei.
In curând nu o să mai fie deloc pentru userii Free. Și pentru userii Pro o să fie doar până la anul.
Mai poți să faci sharing la fișiere - dar nu pot fi downloadate direct de oricine - mai intâi userii trebuie să click-click prin cateva ecrane care te pun sa te inregistrezi la un cont de Dropbox.

Mr Prosser: But, Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months.
Arthur: Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anybody or anything.
Mr Prosser: But the plans were on display
Arthur: On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.
Mr Prosser: That’s the display department.
Arthur: With a torch.
Mr Prosser: The lights had probably gone out.
Arthur: So had the stairs.
Mr Prosser: But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?
Arthur: Yes yes I did. It was on display at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying beware of the leopard.
