I really agree with chrisdroukas, I had no idea I would be sharing my public folder until after I'd already approved the permissions and poked around.

Also when it comes to deciding if I want to share my public folder it would be nice if you could list what's in my public folder for me. I had to go check.

Agreed. It's shame Dropbox doesn't let you see what files you have in your Public folder more easily. It would be great if they could some how directly link it to a folder on your computer so you could quickly and easily manage those files.

Ah well, such is the state of the art I guess.

Not sure if I'm misunderstanding you here - but - ~/Dropbox/Public might be what you're looking for?

Yes, agreed, sorry. Initially I thought it would be a great 'minimum friction' entry point.
