Dropbox is great. But, unfortunately, I do not know a reliable way to run a second dropbox on the same computer under Win 7.

And I need to create a separate account for storing files in the cloud for a specific project. In a normal service. Such that it gives direct links to download a file of the form dl.dropbox.com/u/17099783/habrahabr_01.png
and keeps the files for a long time, well, I wouldn’t delete it a month after the last download of the file.

Shugarsynk does not provide this ...

What do you advise?

The question is old, but it can still be useful to someone: you can use the https://rocld.com service , and use it to take a direct link from the cloud ... I tried on "Mail.ru", "Yandex.Disk" and Dropbox gives direct links to all public files...

Maybe Amazon S3? Moreover, you already use AWS anyway. It’s not as convenient to upload as in DropBox (although there are a number of applications and even plug-ins for browsers and development environments that make it easier, in a very extreme case, you can solve everything with a few scripts). And after uploading, you have a simple http link that you send to the customer's secretary.

You can try running 2 dropbox clients via DropboxPortableAHK , here is the instruction in Russian. I've been trying for a long time, but something didn't work.

Make a free server (for 1 year) on Amazon and upload it there.

Wouldn't picasa work? The mechanics, of course, are not the same as in dropbox, but there is synchronization and links are direct.
