Building a Website with Google Drive + Insync - 1 views

benjamin white on 31 Jul 13"Build a website using Google Drive You are already using Google Drive to store your stuff. Why not use it to create your website? How do to it? Keep reading. First, create a folder as a top folder. Then place all your assets (css, images, etc.) into the newly created folder. In the example below, the top folder is called "the insync webpage" with css, images and js folders. You will also need an index.html. If you do not start with an index.html file, then visitors to your site will see a directory listing of all of the files in that folder, rather than your home page. Once all your folders and files are synced, right click your webpage folder and select Insync → Copy public link. Insync "publishes" your content using the Google Drive publish API. Paste the public URL to a browser and you're done! Here's the one we did: http://bit.ly/127SJMY To recap: Prepare your assets. Upload your assets on Drive via Insync. Copy public link. Don't expect any more steps. You're done. If your registrar supports URL forwarding, you can forward your domain to the public URL. Would be nice to add DNS redirecting so you can add custom domains in the future. "
