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. And by the this functionality, we can host a simple webmap (or little bit complex, I dont know, didnt test it yet) using this service.
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.
The code looks like this :
4. Save it to Html and place to the directory on the 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
