Sweet, now you can get your own URLs that are as ugly as Google+ ones.
That's a bit of a whiny comment! Use something else if you don't like the Urls. Urls are less relevant these days anyway. Who types Urls anymore? Or who even looks at them?

> I'm sure Google is not using http://googledrive.com/ for anything that's user-identifiable. Look at the screenshot in the article. It is in fact using https://googledrive.com/
Yes, it uses googledrive.com, but not for anything user-identifiable . The threat is that a user logs in to googledrive.com and receives an authentication cookie tied to their Google account. Later, they view a malicious user page at googledrive.com/host/someevilpage, and a script on that page reads the authentication cookie and sends it to the attacker, who can now log in to googledrive.com as the victim. That doesn…
you don't need to login in to have session cookeis isn't it? The google session cookies work in all google services a like isn't it?

#54This does not appear to be an official Google site or suggestion. Personally, I'd use them for my cat's blog and that's about it. Google could pull the plug on this at anytime
Re: Host webpages on Google Drive
#55Is the URL of that document pretty reliable or is it not really meant for the long term? I'm thinking of whether there would be issues with using a custom domain for it. I currently host a static website from S3, and I still have to pay a couple of bucks for the traffic. Sounds like this would be completely free.
Check out GitHub Pages for hosting static content for free. I use it for all my statically-generated sites now, and it's been great other than the couple times GitHub went down.

Good advice, since they already did pull the plug for a similar publication method in Google Docs

Word, the complaining about things is endless.
Google is no charity, sure. But they make it easy for people to develop web apps, prototype and monkey with web content, they allow people to share their work with a simple click, but GOD the URLs are not good enough for some random dude on the Internets, we'd better throw our arms in the air and get all snarky about it.
With this trend of negativity I guess we've found the cure for mortality. It gets REALLY old but somehow never dies.
Re: Host webpages on Google Drive
#58Seems to be working fine, but I'd honestly never use it. It's pretty difficult to do anything other than very simple HTML websites.
I had tried to upload my website template that I was working on that used head.js (lazyloads javascript) and it was not working correctly.

Re: Host webpages on Google Drive
#59Sorry guys but I think GitHub/Bitbucket beat you to the punch, not to mention all the PaaS apps out there. Hosts more than css, html, js (for output) Custom domains Collaboration via revision control. I see zero reason to ever use this when there are so many betters tools out there .
Well, sometimes arrogance and being small minded does blind you to certain things. Like how if you're an office manager and you finally got used to using Docs for word processing and spreadsheets but now wanted to make a webpage to send out a message about the office party, this would be a good option. Or if you're the outreach coordinator at your local church group and having been using Gmail all the time to chat an…
Your right I never though of end users just publishing docs straight to html, I wasn't being arrogant, small minded probably.
