If you use Dropbox Basic (free) to share your plugins, you need to check your links ASAP and re-share if needed...

Many plugins links are down now due to recent drop box changes...

Important changes to the Dropbox public folder

Dropbox accounts created after October 4, 2012 won't have a Public folder. If you'd like to quickly share files you can use a shared link. Shared links work even if the person you're sharing with doesn't have a Dropbox account.

Dropbox Basic (free) users

As of March 15, 2017 the Public folder in your Dropbox account has been converted into a standard folder. By default this folder is private to your account. This transition will occur automatically.

Here's what you need to know:

  • All of the files in your Public folder will remain safe, but public links to those files will stop working
  • If someone visits a link to a file in your Public folder, they'll see an error page
  • To see a list of your public links, visit the Public folder—any file in this folder will have previously had a public link associated with it
  • Dropbox can't convert existing public links into Dropbox shared links
  • If you'd like to re-share any of the files in your Public folder, please use a shared folder or shared link

I assume you are referring to all those unofficial, 3rd-party, distributions of plugins that are found all over the internet.

If that is the case, then this is good news.

 

Get your plugins from the official source: here on the forum.

(September 25th, 2023)  Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

If changes at Dropbox effected some of those, then this is good news.

No, I mean the links that the content creators who're using drop box, have posted on this here forum.
