Using Dropbox to Host your webmap

Dropbox, surprisingly could be used to host a static web page. There are other providers too like Google Drive. But its capabilities will be discontinued after August 2016.

The hosting procedure is quite easy,

1. Make a dropbox account and login

2. Looks for "Public" folder and make a directory there.

3. Write your own webmap, for example I copy an html file somewhere, and edit it to include my Mapbox webmap into its DIV Tag, then I just place the html to the directory created on step 2.

5.  Then left clik on it, > Looks for "Copy Public Link"

6. Paste into browser.

7. Click this LINK to see how the code in step 3 looks like
