I didn't know you could host a static website on DropBox.

Anyone knows how much traffic can handle such a site?



Enough to share a link with some friends. Definitely not enough to link something from HN.


Yeah, that's not going to work very well.


It will work fine for low traffic sites if hosted out of the now deprecated Public folder.

Sites like pancake.io, scriptogr.am or site44.com use the API, which don't have bandwidth caps on the Dropbox side


What do you mean out of the public folder?

Easy way to host files, including html files
