I realised that it’s possible to host your HTML build straight in Google Drive.
The below steps result in a publicly shareable link to playing your game straight in the browser.
Here are all the steps:
- Go to drive.google.com.
- Upload the folder containing the HTML build of your game
- Right click the folder, click share, click advanced, make viewing it public.
- Get the ID for the project folder, it’s part of the shareable link. It’s the one after “id=”
- Make a url www.googledrive.com/host/< folder-id>/< path to html file >
- Eg. www.googledrive.com/host/0B5Tr3LykUDUqVUtUUWtnZjBYcG8/platformer.html
I based my approach on: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2881970?hl=en
Unfortunately it seems this feature will be discontinued after August this year. But before then, someone has hopefully found another site that works just as well. I tried GitHub’s hosting ( https://pages.github.com/ ) as well, but that one unfortunately gives errors when trying to play Defold games.
