My Public folder is no longer being shared to everyone, why?
I have been using DropBox for over 10 years ... but recently things have changed, in W11 seems very different.
For example, I have a public folder .. and I set this to be available to all to view ....

Hi sargan, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you referring to the old Public folder feature which was deprecated on September 1st 2017, or a normal shared link to a folder?
This will help me to assist further!

No idea what the folder is/was.
Until I upgraded to W11 DropBox was a square Blue icon on desktop (shortcut) now its a folder so definitely changes.
What I want is a folder that I can put public access items ....for me that is a number of files, and a number of sub folders with files ..... want to be able to click on a file or folder get a link and share it ..... has worked until now.
If I have to share every item individually that is too difficult.
Happy enough with other folders, but do need 1 public access folder, how do I recover that ?
