Can I host my website in Dropbox?

Can I put my own website in my public dropbox area?

Thanks.

Hey @tonyScarp, welcome to the Dropbox Community. 

You can use Dropbox to store files and collaborate with others. You can find more info about its features, here. 

For this reason, could you clarify how exactly you'd like to use Dropbox? Thanks!

I wrote this app in html, javascript, and jquery with a node server.

It accesses a SqLite database.

The application requires each user to have their own database since the user will be adding and modifying their own records.

The server.js file starts up and links to sqlite3. Right now I start it from a command line.

The server.js also contains code that that runs sql commands for different tables from functions in a script.js file.

So each user needs their own database, and the code in their own directory or file location.

Is this something that DropBox can do?

Thanks.

Thanks for the descriptive post, @tonyScarp. 

It sounds like you should be able to save the files in question in a shared folder and share them with others. From there though, I'd recommend having a look at this thread for some additional ideas on how to read .json files with an HTTP API which might help with your query. 

You can also have a look around at our Developer & API section where you may find some like-minded users sharing a similar experience. 

In the meantime, if you have any additional questions, just give us a shout. Cheers!
