rip me

Aren't they just stating that you have to reshare new links? o - o

No it means my public folder will no longer be public, and that means all my roleplays will have fucked up URL's for their images. Direct linking via copy public URL will no longer be a viable method of upload.


Take note that many of my roleplays span 20-30 images. :^)

IDK you're probably using the new version of dropbox where they dropped the entire public folder. But older versions have an actual public folder wherein if you upload a file there, when you copy public URL it's a direct link to the file, so you can use dropbox as an image host. 

It was just super convenient that i could just save over the file in my local dropbox folder whenever I needed to make changes. When people refreshed the page with the dropbox image it would automatically update without me needing to touch anything Dx

I use the version where you have to replace the www.dropbox with dl.dropboxusercontent, but omg that sucks!


I'm just imaging the 20+ images times the number of roleplays you host on all those sites and...RIP


gl, mono

LMAO yeah that's definitely the new one


Old version looks something like this

And whenever you used copy public URL it automatically gave you the direct link :^) you didn't need to change the www.dropbox with dl.dropboxusercontent - it's done automatically for you. 


Also, if you're using the dl.dropboxusercontent method, there might actually be a good chance that that method may get phased out? Because that's the public file URL.

*slow claps*


ty dropbox...


Still don't want to use pinterest, imgur, or one of those image hosting sites that allow for others to find and see without the link. ; - ;
