- Sunil4Tweaklip 14y agoI have made a video tutorial and step-by-step guide here. http://www.tweaklip.com/internet/50-publish-static-website-using-google-drive http://www.tweaklip.com/internet/50-publish-static-website-u...
- arikrak 14y agoIt's funny. I spent a while yesterday trying to find a free easy and secure way for anyone to publish static websites, but couldn't find anything that was like the Dropbox public folder option. And now Google comes out with this... I guess I'll have to update my post http://www.zappable.com/2012/11/the-zappable-guide-to-finding-a-web-host/ http://www.zappable.com/2012/11/the-zappable-guide-to-findin...

- arikrak 14y agoThat looks interesting. Thanks.
- nick32m 14y agoJust use github pages, it's free, secure and easy to use.
- arikrak 14y agoI linked to it in my chart, but it might be hard to use for someone with no experience.
- sergiotapia 14y agoI'm a software developer and I find it hard to use. The documentation isn't so great. If "I" find it hard, imagine what a layman would feel like? I don't think Github pages is easy to use.
- tzs 14y agoSecond decision box: the word "need" is duplicated. Left exit from first decision box: should say '90s, not 90'ss.
- arikrak 14y agoThanks, I updated it. Now I just need a way for people to find it..
- TillE 14y agoIt's not quite as convenient as copying a public link in Dropbox, but you can just copy and paste the unique id string from the share link, like: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/{id}/edit https://docs.google.com/folder/d/{id}/edit To: https://googledrive.com/host/{id}/ https://googledrive.com/host/{id}/ And it works.
- nick32m 14y agoTo me this doesn't sound very exciting. To publish static website/contents programatically , why would i bother use this and not Github pages? It's easier and more programmers friendly too, since it's git.
- stc043 14y agoAre custom domains supported ? .Like github?
- spleeder 14y agoDon't think so, and that's a big downside.

- obilgic 14y agoOne step at a time, they already had online code editor, this all starts to make sense know... https://script.google.com https://script.google.com Update: They even had a folder view, this is amazing. Here is their demo websites source files: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B716ywBKT84AcHZfMWgtNk5aeXM/edit?docId=0B716ywBKT84ALWQ5RkEzU2VCelE https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B716ywBKT84AcHZfMWgtNk5aeX...
- sturadnidge 14y ago>We look forward to seeing what you create, and we’re happy to answer your questions on Stack Overflow. A little bit OT, but using Stack Overflow rather than their Google Group is kind of odd?
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoThis isn't the first Google technology they've done this for - they also do this for App Engine IIRC
- vdm 14y agoDoes Drive still lack Delta Sync, where only deltas hit the wire? For me that is the biggest advantage of Dropbox.
