Discontinuing rendering of HTML content

[Perry P.]

Got email notice from dropbox that they are discontinuing HTML rendering.  This is going to cause major issues for my wife since she uses this to distribute info and files to her students.  We are running a basic account and would be willing to upgrade to a paid account to retain this feature, but this policy seems to be across all account levels.

Any advice on alternatives?

Looks like a nice service, but a bit rich for my blood... I just want to share two or three web pages a year from dropbox to clients, that's it.

Dropbox isn't a webhosting service, and was never intended to be one. If you need to serve a webpage then you really should be using a web hosting service. The right tool for the job...

But that's the point Rich, if I want to share some HTML that's generated from some app, like MindJet, I don't want to build a website for that, or upload to an existing one. I just want the share-ee to be able to view it. The default should be to download the file if clicked, not just spin forever as the browser tries to load the HTML file. Yes, there is a download click, but a HTML 5 interactive file from MindJet, just spins out.

There is no way to serve an HTML page from Dropbox and have it render in a browser (computer or mobile). You can only download the HTML file.
