Additional information

This has been changed as we’ve been lately abused by spammers using our services to host scams and phishing links. Unfortunately it will now require a pro account to publicly share documents.

And it’s far from the only program abused in this way. Making it a Paid Only feature seems to be the common response. The abuse can lead to blacklisting so it’s something that has to be prevented.
