Sharing an HTML5 banner ad animation with client

[Gar88]

Hi all!

I cannot find any build in way of sharing files (HTML5 animations for adverts) with a client. I would have thought it would be possible using Adobe Cloud to do this... Am I missing something?

Many thanks

you can share files using cc but that's not what you should do.

you should upload your production files to a file server and send your client a link so they can veiw your product (in their browser).

Thank you kglad

Yes, that's what I want to do, present it to them 'in browser'. But I guess I'm surprised that Animate/Cloud doesn't make this a seamless thing to do. I was hoping I had just missed something.

Animate canvas documents publish as web pages. Adobe can't change the fundamental nature of what web pages are and how they work.

Thanks for your answer. I'm a little bewildered by this response though.

.. Obvs I do know what a web page is and how it works.

I'm not sure how this would require Adobe 'changinging the fundamental nature of what web pages are'. To be clear - what I'm asking them for is precisely to serve up a web page. 

FYI: Many online tools that help one create web banners also give you the ability to share them with clients. 

• Adobe has built in the ability to create the HTML file.
• + Adobe had a cloud service.
• Adobe provides similar sharing functionality in XD and even inDesign etc.
• These could even be served up into an iframe with the ability to post a comment on the Adobe served page.

• Adobe Animate plans to add sharing buttons for social media (currently only twitter) - and this kind of simple service for sharing would be a great feature for the many people who create ads, some are paying for a third party service to sstreamline this.

I hope that clarifies the kind of feature I'm talking about.

You can easily upload the HTML5 zip file (or other ad tags) on PreviewAds.com to preview the ad and share the preview link with your client. Here's an example of an HTML5 ad.

It's what I'm looking for. Tks you so much.

Awesome! Share with all your friends and colleagues!

We plan to add the ability to upload multiple HTML5 ads and create a shareable link to all of them.

Feel free to send me an email and we'd be happy to keep you in the loop on updates: Landon@Adreform   dot com

use a file server.  there are free (with ads) ones. google it.

if you're going to do more than dabble with freelancing, get your own (~$10/mo) and get your own domain name (~10/yr).

I might be a bit biased, but that's exactly where Adpiler is for. Drop your HTML5 ads and get a professional preview page, where clients can view, review, and give approval.
