Apparently Dropbox is discontinuing Public Folders on March 15, 2017 - about two weeks from now. Will Webflow be launching the ability to host files by then? (that’s a joke)…
Anyways, looking for simple alternatives. Anybody willing to help out if I run into some snafu’s setting up an Amazon S3 account? Might be an alternative until Webflow allows you to bundle up a few pdfs and js files with a build in 2024.
Or I guess I’ll look into some cheap hosting and figure out how to just host files alone without linking a domain to it? Maybe that is another route…
Maybe somebody can chime in with another solution?
@webflow - We need integrated file hosting, especially for $20 a month per build. Make it happen soon. Pretty please with sugar on top
You don’t have to create public links to share. It just means people can’t edit the files. I think it will still work for pdf’s ect. From the notice I got. It seemed to me that as Sam said you can still get a share link and use that. But now no one can edit the file. It’s the method I’ve been using for customers to update their own resumes and link to their sites. Though I’d love an in webflow solution. Also been thinking about hosting js scripts too. As long as to view things a visitor doesn’t have to login to dropbox it should be fine.
The latter takes you to a download page. That link is created from their interface but wont work. I’m trying to find the direct link to the file with the .css extension.
Ok if that’s the case Webflow we need to be able to upload some files. Otherwise our option becomes paying for extra hosting somehwere else which I’m not super keen on when I’m already paying for hosting.
