I'm using Microsoft's One Drive to share an Excel workbook by embedding it into a web page using the iframe tag.
I've got the code that One Drive provides and it displays fine on the page. However, it's possible for a user to click the icon in the black bar at the bottom and view the Workbook full screen.
I don't have a problem with that, but it then gives the option to download, copy and share the entire file and that is a problem.
I've found parameters that can be used with the workbook link such as wdHideGridlines, but is there anything that will get rid of that black bar? Or anything that will stop someone downloading the file?
It seems that you can embed a file with OneDrive and it's open for all, or you can use the 'share' option and get a view-only link, but I can't seem to embed that link - it displays an Excel icon for the workbook rather than a view of the data.
I hope this makes sense, if anyone can help I'd be grateful.
At the moment, the only way to prevent the download is to hide the download command on the web page with CSS.

If it gets sufficient votes, Microsoft will consider implementing it.

I would like to share pdf in google drive but even with featurs of preventing downloading and printing still can download it image by image that's why i thought to use another way after some research I found pdf2htmlEX so after i convert my pdf to html I upload it in google drive but when i wanted to opended it's appear as html code not as pdf
any help to solve that issue and any idea to share pdf without be downloadble image by image
It sounds like you're trying to secure your PDF and keep people from downloading/screenshotting its contents. Unfortunately, even if you successfully convert the PDF to HTML, people will still be able to view and therefore download/screenshot the contents. It's hard to prevent piracy.
As for the issue regarding your HTML files displaying as HTML in Google Drive, Google Drive doesn't support this. Google Drive no longer renders HTML files as of August 31, 2015:
https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2015/08/deprecating-web-hosting-support-in.html
If you're looking for a way to secure your PDF, most people will tell you that the simple answer is: you can't. Tools exist that help prevent screen recording and screen printing, but they're expensive and not foolproof. Someone can also just take a picture of their screen. The reality is that if you want to share content with the world through a PDF, you have to accept that it might be shared or stolen.
If you just want some basic protection through Google Drive, Google offers some advice for preventing copying and downloading:
To prevent commenters and viewers from downloading, printing, or
copying your file:
Click Share or Share Add people.
In the bottom right, click Advanced.
Check the box next to "Disable options to download, print,
and copy for commenters and viewers."
Click Save changes.
Click Done.

I'm currently making an educational resource with google drive.
I've currently got the "Publish to web" version of the google documents embedded in an iframe in an html document using
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSaUZ2XolOoqc0M12v-VNTTMcz3dIAnAOO9gaCyifoAXhlWiKz114M2QYoQ5d-dNBEsgWDcXahKNMSD/pub" frameborder="0"></iframe>
I've inserted hyperlinks (using the built in hyperlink function) in the google docs, to link to other (published) google docs eg:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XnTTbjedXkL3OfeELMwzabeeL4FjnOjarmmWbKb97EY/pub
At the moment, all clicked links are opened in a new tab. This happens whether I link to other google docs, or to external sites. Naturally, this is quite frustrating for navigating the site.
I'd like to have them open either...
in the same iframe
or to another webpage that appears in the same tab (which I could then embed the target document in). I don't really mind which, as long as a new tab isn't created every time someone clicks a link.
I see from similar questions posted that in the past people seem to have had the opposite problem - trying to force the links to open in new tabs, so perhaps something has changed with the way links are handled?
For onlookers, the reason for the varying behavior is due to the query parameter that either is or isn't present as the src value:
You can see that the OP does not have ?embedded=true at the end (after /pub).
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSaUZ2XolOoqc0M12v-VNTTMcz3dIAnAOO9gaCyifoAXhlWiKz114M2QYoQ5d-dNBEsgWDcXahKNMSD/pub" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Google doesn't document the differing functionality very well, but a URL like
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSaUZ2XolOoqc0M12v-VNTTMcz3dIAnAOO9gaCyifoAXhlWiKz114M2QYoQ5d-dNBEsgWDcXahKNMSD/pub?embedded=true
will provide the desired behavior of keeping links opening in-iframe.
We would like to display excel file which consist of graphs onto our HTML5 web page.
I tried couple of approach but haven't got exact solution-
If I used iframe then source excel file opens as an attachment and dialog box appears. which I dont want.
If I convert excel file into mht and then open using iframe. This only works with IE and not mozilla or chrome.
Can anyone please suggest how to view entire excel workbook on my HTML5 page?
Note: I do not want to use google docs in my case.

I am using Access 2013 with our enterprise Office 365 Sharepoint site to create a simple Access App. I'm unsure of all the terminology--the main point is that this is an Access App as opposed to a desktop application. I am wondering if there is a way to display an image on a list view, where the image source is a data field. Here's what I can do so far and where I get stuck:
I can add a picture control. I can set the picture to a permanent URL that displays just fine in the view. However, this is a permanent setting for the view of any record.
I can add a URL field to the table. It's easy to pick the URL in datasheet view, and on list view, it's difficult to change the URL, but clicking on it will pop up the image (or whatever link) in a new tab or window.
I can create a Web Browser Control. I can have this control source be the URL frame. When I look at this view using an IE browser, I get something that looks like an iFrame. However, no matter what URL I try, the content will not load.
More clarification here: Depending on whether I try Flickr or an image hosted on my own OneDrive, I get different errors. One of the errors I get (tyring to use my own OneDrive with publicly shared image) is: "To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame."
More information: If I link to a publicly shared image from Google Drive, then the Web Browser Control does in fact show the image. This is not ideal, and I'd rather be able to dynamically change the link for the Picture Control, as opposed to embedding web content.
This is where I am stuck on two avenues. (A) The Web Browser Control will not show any content (maybe this is a security setting of my institution's Sharepoint 2013?). And (B) I cannot figure out how to dynamically change the URL for the picture control. Option B may be possible with a macro, but macros in Access Apps are different than desktop version and much more limited in capability. And I'm not good at either set of macros. Thanks for any ideas!
I have made a page in html5 with css3. It works fine on local (I dont use any server, just doubleclick in the index to open it).
I want to put it in google drive. I have load all the documents needed, but when I try to open the html, I can only see the text (I mean, it is not being executing, I can see just the source code).
Any suggestion?

Host web pages with Google Drive
Note: This feature will not be available after August 31, 2016.
I highly recommend https://www.heroku.com/ and https://www.netlify.com/
EDIT: As of August 2016 Google Drive can no longer be used to host static web pages, so this solution no longer works.
Create a new folder in Drive and share it as "Public on the web."
Upload your content files to this folder.
Right click on your folder and click on Details.
Copy Hosting URL and paste it on your browser.(e.g. https://googledrive.com/host/0B716ywBKT84AcHZfMWgtNk5aeXM)
It will launch index.html if it exist in your folder other wise list all files in your folder.
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&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.
Now you can use
https://sites.google.com
Build internal project hubs, team sites, public-facing websites, and more—all without designer, programmer, or IT help. With the new Google Sites, building websites is easy. Just drag content where you need it.
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.
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.
Create a new folder in Drive and share it as "Public on the web."
Upload your HTML, JS & CSS files to this folder.
Open the HTML file & you will see "Preview" button in the toolbar.
Share the URL that looks like www.googledrive.com/host/... from the preview window and anyone can view your web page.
