		Dropbox is deactivating their public folder so that you no longer can have "public" files in it. I have some files that programs read to determine whether they should auto-update and if so they download a file(installer) from the public folder and installs. Are there any good alternatives to Dropbox which would enable me to keep this functionality?

Google Drive. Upload a file, get a sharable link and use it in your programs. There is probably an API to automate all of it.
