Things have changed again. In this case, it means that if you've been using services like Dropbox or Google drive to share things like web pages, you won't be able to do this any more. Dropbox says, "If you created a website that directly displays HTML content from your Dropbox, it will no longer render in the browser. The HTML content itself will still remain in your Dropbox and can be shared." Other services - like OneDrive - have never allowed this. Tom Kuhlmann recommends that you "Use Amazon S3 or a competing service. Here's how to set up the Amazon S3 service." Also, "Be careful of free services. Odds are they'll be gone or remove the free part of the service and you'll be in the same place you are today." That said, we do need a way to share our cloud-stored files online. It's something that's on my mind.
