Special folder act as "web server"

Well, I've using Dropbox as my webserver at the beginnings, but due to security Dropbox disable this function, but I suggest only allow a special folder can use HTML code with no scripting support, no dynamic function except plain HTML, this can save my cash hosting some webpages and make use of the Dropbox storage for some PDF files sharing.

    Hi Chun Sang Johns, thanks for messaging the Community.

     

    As you're aware, the option to have Dropbox render HTML files on the site was disabled in September 2017. 

     

    Due to potential security and privacy concerns, currently, there are no plans to bring this feature back.

     

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