It’s been brought to my attention that Dropbox is going to disable the public folder and deactivate links. This could wreak havoc on download archives for retired creators, and it is suspected that Trapping in particular is in danger of this. We all know how popular her content is and it would be a shame to lose it.
If we spread the word, perhaps we can gather all her files and rehost them before they disappear 🙂
this thread at the Dropbox forum discusses it
*reblogs for more visibility*
Would it make sense to start thread over at GoS or somewhere about this and try gathering creators whose files need to be saved and then coming up with some sort of plan for who’s downloading and rehosting what and so on? I’m definitely up for helping with downloading and rehosting files but unable to organize project that big.
Definitely needs a home base somewhere, otherwise it will be an unorganized mess. A forum setting might be more tidy, actually.
Thank you for posting the link, @shastakiss. Bit of an oversight on my part
Okay, here’s a new board for it at Garden of Shadows. Please join the discussion, suggestions are very welcome.
