DropBox Public folder files not accessible on PC or iDevices
Files in my DropBox Public folder are not accessible [visible] from my PCs and iDevices. All files accessible/editable from MacMini [OSX 10.8.4]. Public folder is visible.
All other DropBox folders/files accessible OK.
How do I enable access?
This from DropBox...
Please note: New Dropbox accounts created after October 4, 2012 no longer have a Public folder. Don't worry! Every account created prior to this date will still have a Public folder.
All other DropBox folders/files accessible OK.

Read the rest of the instructions... https://www.dropbox.com/help/16/en You can still get a public folder.

Problem is not public folder - all devices have one. Problem is (as above) files not accessible except on MacMini. Can see public folder on all - just cannot see files!

Has to do with permissions *and* understanding the Mac Dropbox icons local vs. cloud.
I have been extensively testing out dropbox, google drive and windows skydrive. I struggled because dropbox is twice as expensive. In the end, I ended up paying for dropbox because it really did work the best. Google drive constantly had syncing errors and I couldn't trust it between multiple devices. It was also slower to sync. A note on speed, they were about the same until I found the setting on dropbox where you can adjust the download/upload speed.
Any of these have some hidden items as you found out but I believe dropbox is the winner and I just paid for it..
