The url will change from https://www.dropbox.com/home/ to https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public.

    What is pushState?

    The history object gains two new methods, pushState & replaceState, that allow us to change the
    current location of the browser without making an HTTP request. These new locations are stored in the
    browsers history so that both the back and forward button work as expected.

     history.pushState({foo: "bar"}, "foo page", "/foo")
