I want to share my public Dropbox folder, but I can't seem to find what it's URL is.

So where can I find it?

I don't think you can actually share the Public folder, just files inside it.

Drop a file into the folder, right click it → Dropbox → Copy Public Link.

If you have delete the public folder by mistaken then create new one and that's all.

One more time: Files must be in the public folder for you to share a url

You probably want to look at shared folders;

Hope this helps.

    That was what I found out too, when I looked at their help. Can you add this image into your answer: dl.dropbox.com/u/1656836/win/copy-public-link.png?

You actually can, when you're logged in on https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public click on the Share link button, there you'll be taken to a url like:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/<some random looking string>

Which will be the accessible to anybody, and you can share it from there via email/facebook/twitter/etc or just copy the url. There, you'll see the contents of your public folder (files and subfolders)
