Here are instructions on how to use the shared link feature, if you have the Dropbox application installed on your Mac. Thus, you should replace them with shared links.

If you rely on any Public Links, please be aware that they will stop working. Dropbox has been slowly phasing out the Public Folder and Public Links since they have been superseded by a newer, shared link feature, which was added a few years ago. The Public Link feature let you share any file with anybody, but it required you to put the file inside your Dropbox Public Folder. Did you know that Dropbox lets you share any file with anybody, even if they do not have their own Dropbox account? In 2011, I wrote about how to do this using Dropbox’s Public Link feature.
