A lot of the solutions offered here do not seem to work anymore. I'm currently on a chromebook and wanted to view an HTML5 banner. This seems impossible now through Google Drive or other apps (as mentioned in previous comments).

The method I ended up using to view the HTML5 was the following:

Open Google Adwords (create a free account if you dont have one)
Click on Ads in the top panel
Click on "+AD" and choose image ad
Choose "upload an ad"
Drag and drop your zip file into the area
Click on Preview
Voila, you will see your HTML5 banners in their full beauty

There may well an easier way, but this way is pretty good too. Hope it helps and worked well for me.

While drive allows you to edit plain text and HTML files I don t believe they allow the HTML to actually be displayed  I don t think they want people hosting websites from their drive space

I don t think it is necessary to  host  the content using the way from the accepted answer  It is too complicated for a normal user with limited developing skills   Google actually has provided hosting feature without using Drive SDK API  what you need is just few clicks  Check this out   http   support google com drive bin answer py hl en amp answer 2881970  It is the same to the answer of user1557669  However  in step 4  the URL is not correct  it is like   https   drive google com  folders      To get the correct host URL  Right click on the html file  you have to finish 1-3 steps first and put the html in the public shared folder   and select  Details  from the context menu  You will find the hosting URL right close to the bottom of the details panel  It should look like   https   googledrive com host     abc html  Then you can share the link to anyone  Happy sharing
