Can dropbox operate as a web server?

Hi @talarielcohen, thanks for contacting us!

It wouldn't be possible to use the Dropbox site as a web server, as HTML files cannot be previewed on the site.

You can host images on Dropbox and use shared links to preview them, however, there is a daily bandwidth limit.

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
