I'd pay money for a replacement for their old "Public" folder that gives me:

1. A directory on my drive that's automatically synced to a public folder on a web server

2. The convenience of Dropbox's Finder/Explorer integration (right-click to copy link)

First one is pretty trivial with a cron job (or equivalent) and some rsync-fu. Second one, not sure. That's basically the convenience factor I'd pay a few bucks a month for. That and never having to check if the cron job's running. I want brain-dead simple. Anybody know of something that does this?

Their "link to your file(s) on Dropbox.com, embedded in a fancy web interface" feature(s) seems pretty useful honestly. Especially the history of who viewed the file -- that's a real differentiating feature. Different use case though.

Edit: I'm not sure why this is being downvoted.

You can have most of what the public folder offered for $5/month here: https://www.site44.com (Dropbox API app)

If you just want to right click to get a shared link...Dropbbox has always supported that. If you don't like the ugly chrome Dropbox puts around your content, append "?raw=1" to the links Dropbox returns.
