Does anyone have a tutorial on how to set Dropbox up for a Download Server?

Install dropbox

Go here https://www.dropbox.com/help/16

Should find a link to enable the public folder

Place tf folder in public folder

Place maps, materials, models, and sound folders in said tf folder with all the files in it

Go to your dropbox page

Go into the public folder, then into the tf folder, then find a file, any file, can be a map

Right click

Click copy public link

Should look something like: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...awl_b1.bsp.bz2

Remove the last bit from it and remove s in https so it looks like: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/170867822/tf/

Paste that into sv_downloadurl in server.cfg

This method also does require you have all the files on a linked computer at all times.

I'll edit this post when I find the link that enables the public folder, as it's normally not on by default, but it's necessary for using dropbox as fastdl.

Edit: That was easier to find then I thought

This is from the Dropbox website:

Creating a Public folder

Dropbox links give you everything you need to share and preview files and folders. However, if you’re just a diehard fan of Public folders, click here to enable one on your account. Currently only Pro and Dropbox for Business users can enable Public folders, so you may have to upgrade first.

Maybe they changed it then, that's how I enabled my public folder, maybe about a year ago, maybe less, and I'm a free user with extra space from friend referrals

Google drive and dropbox has high traffic monitoring system. They will suspend yr account if you have high-traffic files downloading on them.
