You can simply create a new folder in the ROOT of your dropbox, and name it "Public" (note the capital P).
The ROOT means at at for example: C:\Users\John\Dropbox\Public
The Public folder will not work if you create within other sub-folders within Dropbox.
To get back the "globe icon", once you have created the new"Public folder", use Notepad and create a newfile named "desktop.ini" within the Public folder. Write the following contents in the "desktop.ini"file(replacing the username John with your own Windows username):
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\Dropbox\bin\Dropbox.exe
IconIndex=-2101
InfoTip=A securely backed up place to put your important files.
