Dropbox to kill-off Public folders?

so no need to share then. :)

actually the public folder is good for putting images to upload the image url (public link) to websites ,
bit like your own imageshack.

Hmm, I went ahead and installed it, and put a video into the public folder to test how this all works. The only thing that I've found so far that annoys me is that even with the bandwidth set to unlimited, it is only running at ~ 47KB/sec, which will take ~ 7 hours to finish the 1.2GB video file. I'm assuming this is due to my ISP connection, because the upload speed when I test it with Speedtest.net is approximately that speed also. If I had a higher upload speed, would the Dropbox app use all that is available, or would it still be slow?

Yes, the more upload speed you have the faster this goes. I uploaded something from work last night and was getting around 500KB/sec on my upload speed via dropbox.

Limited upload speeds are why I don't make huge use of cloud based services yet, and also the reason that I am more than happy with 2-5GB of free space...because I use the cloud storage mainly for small files.
