This might just cause me to try out an android phone!
Unfortunately, it is only going to be available in Japan for now. Hopefully, it will not take long before it reaches the shores of Singapore. We're so hungry for new gadgets here, it's almost an obsession.

Dropbox to do away with public folders, makes sharing more private.
Dropbox to do away with public folders, makes sharing more private.
being a heavy user of dropbox, i'm not too concerned about this going away. most of my use of dropbox doesn't need the public folder anyway. i love dropbox, it is my 'second home online'.
i love that the user experience is so intuitive, and it does all i expect of a cloud service. if i could suggest one feature, it would be to create simple a text file within dropbox to store notes as well.
that way, i can completely do away with using the 'notes' application on my iphone.
Sharing has been not so smooth though. it is a pain sharing files through the "get a link" feature. supposed to make sharing easier by creating a simple link that should enable people to view your file, i have tried this several times with several people without success. they just couldn't open the file through the link. wish that dropbox would take note of this and rectify the problem. though i haven't checked with others if they encountered the same problem as I have.
Obviously the decision to do away with public folders has got to do with the concerns of how people share the files within public folders. guess dropbox is trying to prevent a situation of copyright infringement, and is taking a more cautious approach. the service now has 50 million registered users, according to this techcrunch article.
