Let’s say that you want to share a single photograph with a bunch of people. Perhaps the photo is related to an event you went to and you want to share it with everyone on your Twitter account.

This is what the Public folder is all about. As explained in Chapter 2, the Public folder is automatically part of your Dropbox folder when you start an account. It is the only folder that automatically creates a public link to every file it contains.

The term “public” is a bit loose here. Anyone who has a link to a public file can share it with anyone they’d like, and it is theoretically possible that someone could guess the link to a file in your Public folder even if you never shared that link with anyone. That’s not likely, however – files in your Public folder can generally be considered private until you share them. Still, if you took some photos of yourself streaking down Main Street during a night of drunken debauchery it is probably a good idea not to place them in your Public folder.
