I just received an email from "The Dropbox team" which said in part:

"...we’ll soon be ending support for the Public folder. Dropbox Basic users will be able to use the Public folder until March 15, 2017. After that date the files in your Public folder will become private, and links to these files will be deactivated. Your files will remain safe in Dropbox.

If you’d like to keep sharing files in your Public folder, you can create new shared links. Just make sure to send the new URLs to your collaborators..."

This is going to render lots of very valuable advice posted on these forums almost useless if that advice relied on images from the contributor's Public Dropbox folder.
