HTML BUG(?) 2016-08-03:

The HTML file in-browser preview no longer works in the Business account with "team folders" feature enabled. In the past, I've been able to create a share link to the containing folder and the .html files inside that folder all rendered/previewed correctly for an anonymous viewer.

Shared folder example that contains some sample html, pdf and docx files:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/h8oqh8jgote9289/AAAUr9U-6OLKmwRxxAZD7ONJa?dl=0

The html files won't render as a preview in the browser, but the other file types do render.
