Dropbox Remove Direct Link for new accounts

2012-7-31 之後建立的 Dropbox 帳號, 將沒有 Public 目錄功能,
Dropbox 是少數能建立 Direct Link 的雲端同步軟體, 現在它也要關掉這個功能了, 所幸所有的舊用戶都能繼續保有此功能.
Direct Link 跟 Share Link 有何不同?
用實例看最快, 以下是同一個檔案的 Direct Link 與 Share Link
Direct Link https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7586031/puremsn14.0.8117cht2012.exe
Share Link https://www.dropbox.com/s/91y6t1xif39xuk9/puremsn14.0.8117cht2012.exe

用 Share Link 的網址後面加 ?dl=1, 還是可以取得 dl.dropbox.com 開頭的 Direct Link
# curl -I "https://www.dropbox.com/s/91y6t1xif39xuk9/puremsn14.0.8117cht2012.exe?dl=1"
HTTP/1.1 302 FOUND

pragma: no-cache
cache-control: no-cache
x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN

location: 這行就是了

結果就是把 www 換成 dl 就行了
