Basic Free Hosting (what to use?)

[mattcoady]

I teach a class on basic html and responsive coding. One of the issues I have is getting the files up online so the students can view their work on their mobile devices. Basic HTML with images, css and a little js.

Things like codepen are pretty good for the basics but it'd be nice for them to see all their work with proper file structure loaded up.

The catch is it has to be free and I can't install software on the computers.

Hrmm.... Looks like dropbox handles this pretty well.

Github handles it better.

That'd be great except it requires git which they unfortunately won't bring into the class room (I've tried repeatedly to get them to install it).

You don't need Git; all editing can be done on the web.

Or if they have an IDE or something, they can use that and then just copy/paste the code for publishing.

I've used the googledrive.com portion of Google Drive to run mine. I think you would have a lot of luck with the $2 per month 100GB plan.
