Dropbox is killing free webpage hosting

That's not a reason. It's a feature that's taken away and Dropbox didn't say why.

It's not a feature, it's a file hosting service that people were using to host websites via public folders. The feature they're removing is to render html pages that enabled this loophole...

That's not a loophole. Why would you allow certain files to render and not others? Dropbox knew very well this would happen if you add that functionality. It's a feature.

It can't be coincidence that this comes just after the massive Dropbox security breach was reported. It must be security related.

I agree. For a quick test page or clan website it should be a perfect replacement for Dropbox in this scenario
