Tom,

You may have to visit the Dropbox site to re-enable your shared links. 
Don't forget to sign in to your account with your Email address and Dropbox 
password.

It's no longer necessary to put files you want to share into the Public 
subfolder; that used to be the case, but that changed about a year ago.  You 
may be able to fix this problem within the software itself, but I suspect 
you'll have to do it on the site.

Steve
