How best to host your HTML5 output?

Hi Everyone

 

I keep coming up against roadblocks when it comes to finding a suitable place to host my HTML5 output in my company. I previously used Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), but it was incredibly time-intense. Each time I made a change to the files, I had to modify the HTML, JS and AEM script, which took a huge amount of time (I tend to work with multiple Animate files to keep them lighter, otherwise the user will be stuck with a forever-loading file at the beginning). Having inquired into further possibilities with IT and not having been given any satisfying solutions, does anyone know of a ready-made platform for this purpose that I could use or purchase? I'm not much of a techie, but I understand an FTP server is probably needed to link to the files - if I had that, could I link to the files with WordPress for example? Could Google Drive be used as a host for the files themselves? Is there any simple solution to showcase our Adobe Animate work and how does everyone else deal with this?

 

Thanks for any thoughts

Chloe

    I use google drive to save my files so that I get a few versions since google does versioning but you cannot serve the files from there.

    A hosting service does require you to FTP your files when you update them.

    You could also use Microsoft AZURE Storage Explorer to do it. You upload your files and anyone you give access will be able to view the files. However of course you do have to update your files when they change but it is pretty easy to set up and use.
