Dropbox is my publish button, too. (Nginx + Dropbox = easy publishing)

I can be convinced otherwise, but this doesn't seem to be within the spirit of my free agreement with Dropbox. It's as if I took my host's invitation to "make myself at home" literally, and ate all his ice cream while he was at work.

  We watch carefully for any fraudulent use of Dropbox public
  links and will suspend suspicious links when they are
  detected. Links that use up more than 10GB/day for Basic
  (free) accounts and 250GB/day for Pro (paid) accounts are
  automatically suspended.

Your host's freezer has usage limits that prevent you from eating all the ice cream. Be careful what you share on Dropbox and implement sane cache settings on your reverse proxy, and your usage should fall within the limits.
