[quote]Google on Tuesday announced that it will allow Web developers to share hosted websites via Google Drive. All you have to do is store your HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files, and then share a link to your starting HTML file.
In fact, Google is eating its own dog food by hosting the instructions on how to do this yourself, on Google Drive.[/quote]

Now if they add a collaborative HTML editor this could be amazing
That's fucking great
Drive is awesome!
is it just me or can I see massive abuse potential in this? it's like now every script kiddie can host an html file without even needing to set up their own apache server.
[quote] Because the company requires that you first share your files publicly, there shouldn’t be any privacy concerns here – nobody is going to see your website before it’s finished unless you explicitly give them the link.[/quote]
[quote]Choose Public if you want something to be available to anyone. Public documents and files can show up in search results, and anyone who finds the web address of the document can access it. If you also select the 'Allow anyone to comment' and/or 'Allow anyone to edit' options, anyone who finds the document will also be able to view, comment and edit your document.[/quote]
uhhh
keyword [b]can[/b] show up - if it's linked to from somewhere they'll find it.
Gotta admit I'm really liking 2013 so far
I guess it'd only serve plain HTML? Still neat though.
Couldn't you always do this? You can do it with dropbox, and like any other host. Nothing special.
Can you create a webpage without any coding knowledge?

HTML is a markup language, not a programming language. If you have the patience you can learn the basics for creating layouts and stylesheets. It's not until you want to have dynamic stuff like databases and moving elements that you'd need to learn PHP or Javascript.
You can use something like Google sites to create a webpage without any knowledge of HTML, but it's much more worth it learning html as you have full control
[QUOTE=Shadaez;39495060]Couldn't you always do this? You can do it with dropbox, and like any other host. Nothing special.[/QUOTE]
Yes you could, but you cannot host scripts on dropbox/etc because they don't give you any server hosting. All you're getting with dropbox is online HDD space.
[QUOTE=meppers;39495061]Can you create a webpage without any coding knowledge?[/QUOTE]
Probably not.
From what I gather it only lets you host html files like they would be hosted on any other webpage, and it lets those html files access other files as well (like .css files and image files), so you could create a webpage if you have the necessary knowledge in html and css.
This has been possible with Dropbox for at least two years.

says CSS and JS as well in the article

Didn't know this, neat.
[QUOTE=meppers;39495061]Can you create a webpage without any coding knowledge?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, you can learn the HTML basics and expand from there into areas like CSS which will give you more control over visuals. Codecademy and htmldog are good for learning and reference.

If you really wanted to, you could use something like Visual Studio's WYSIWG Design view, which creates the HTML for you. However, if you want to get creative with Web pages, you really should learn HTML. Don't worry though, compared to an actual programming language, it's pretty straightforward and you could learn most of what you need within a couple hours.
I assume I can't load up this bitch with wordpress

You can already do it with Dropbox, and there's no abuse on there.
You understand how BBCode works on forums right? It's basically an advanced version of that, and uses < & >.
Fucking he'll I'm too slow.
Now I can finally put to use the limited HTML skills I learned when I was in 6th grade! :v:

Then enjoy CSS quirks.
There's not too many quirks unless you get into drop down menus using css, then it can get a little confusing but there's millions of tutorials online

I'm sorry but getting divs where you want them to is a nightmare.
[QUOTE=trotskygrad;39495106]says CSS and JS as well in the article[/QUOTE]
What I meant was that it doesn't process PHP or something.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;39495212]Then enjoy CSS quirks.[/QUOTE]
Well yes, CSS is an entirely different animal.

did dropbox support js?
Yeah it did.
[editline]6th February 2013[/editline]
I'm not entirely sure why you consider it to be dangerous - you've been able to get free hosting since the dawn of time.
HTML, CSS and JS are processed clientside, that's why they work. PHP is a server-side language, unlike the ones previously mentioned.

ok? they don't let you host scripts here either
