DropBox Changes

[TubaMagna8]

Admin, Please move if its better off somewhere else

I'm sure many of you, like myself use DropBox for hosting images to the forum. As of 15th March 2017 the public folder will be no more...

If you created your Dropbox acount after 4th October 2012 then your Public folder, which i used for my pictures on here. Will be converted into a standard folder, so all the Photo links will become void...

It seems you have to use the "share item" tool instead.

I saw this in an email a few days back. Really not impressed with it, I have hundreds of images linked on forums with them.

ah man, that sucks

 

[Andy_Mk3]

Just looking on the Dropbox forums, many many angry people!

I think I need to try and find an alternative.

i've used onedrive for a little year now, pretty happy with it

Testing Onedrive link:

 

[Andy_Mk3]

Fail

 

[TubaMagna8]

I'm Really annoyed, because it hosts all my images for my website....

Google Drive you can't do this with

Onedrive is awkward

Flickr is a possibility

I'm looking at getting a WD Cloud thing that might do it, but obviously that has to be online all the time lol

for pictures i tend to use imgur

I'm looking into running something on my home server

I try not to drop boxes. Otherwise all my stuff gets broken.





...I don't know what you guys are talking about. I opened a Photobucket account when the internet started.

I've had a phorobucket account since I was about 12 but the website got slowly worse, and the last time I went on the site on my phone, it was full of fake android virus popups, no thanks!

Test from my home server:

Doesn't work for me until I quote it. You need to sort a certificate.

Odd haha. I'm still trying out different things anyway. Not totally happy with it yet.

 

[TubaMagna8]

Kaspersky popped up with an error about it Lol about the certificate lol

 

[Andy_Mk3]

There is no certificate that's why lol.

I'm using Owncloud, which is a lot like dropbox, hosted on my server. I'm just not 100% happy with it though.

Testing Amazon Cloud storage:

 

[Andy_Mk3]
