dropbox html 404

Question

HTML

On the official dropbox forum, people are crying a lot about the 404 error when sharing html (in the Public folder, all right). It fell to my lot to face this.

Has anyone managed to solve this problem or wait for it to resolve itself (there are such mentions)?

1. Changing the extension to .html.txt allows displaying the actual text of the page
2. Images from the Public folder and its subfolders are displayed
3. The addresses and URLs of the page are correct:
\My Dropbox\Public\AB\html\home.html
dl.dropbox.com /u/1234567/AB/html/home.html

Answer 1

I found an all-explaining answer, from which, however, it follows that nothing can be done about this, except to change the provider.

Some ranges of Russian IP addresses have been blocked due to the misuse of our public link service to spread Trojans and other malware. I'm afraid your IP is in one of those ranges. © Dropbox Support

Answer 2

rename to .xhtml.
Somewhere they used to see an official explanation that it was closed on purpose, from bad people. In a good way, there are hostings for web pages, including free ones.

Answer 3

There were some Russian IP addresses blocked from hosting html files because of abuse.
