I dearly hope my first question here is 'acceptable', but I cannot find an answer anywhere - not even from an online Dropbox search.
As a web developer in training, I recently added an HTML file to my Public folder in Dropbox; it is meant as an example webpage for my 'portfolio'. The rendered page directly in Dropbox online links to a Dropbox CSS file successfully. Also, my local Dropbox images link and display successfully.
However, my link to a Dropbox audio file does not play - and neither does the video link to Youtube.
All 'src' and 'a href' links work fine when I render the page from my laptop Desktop Dropbox app; they link to external pages and audio and video files correctly. After researching, I had already changed the 'www' to 'dl' to my local Dropbox files, but that doesn't solve the issue of links working when rendered from the Dropbox server. The audio file works fine when accessing the file directly in Dropbox online using the player, so it's the HTML file that cannot 'find' the audio file from within the Dropbox server. Similarly, any hyperlinks to external sites, such as Youtube and my Linkedin account do not work by left-clicking or CTRL-click - the correct URL shows in the bottom-left corner but the link does not respond. Only right-clicking and 'open in another tab' works on links, thus 'escaping' the restriction of the Dropbox server.
I tried to provide as much detail here as possible so that you're fully aware of my situation. I hope someone knows how to 'free' these hyperlinks from the Dropbox server. I'll soon have my first website online, which will eliminate these issues - but I'm curious to solve this Dropbox problem. Thanks in advance.

I uploaded my own created personal site on Github (includes CSS and HTML only). The link doesn't open the site very well as my CSS contents doesn't get displayed but when I open the same file locally on my chrome browser it opens correctly.
Below I'm attaching the 2 screenshots of what it's like when I open.
1)With Github(Error while loading)
2)Locally opened using VScode(Correctly opened)
I was hoping that my uploaded file gets opened correctly like did in VScode so that I can share the link of my site.I am mentioning the link here too if anyone finds the fault then please help me rectify it.

I have a folder for a functional HTML website that has the CSS and JS all zipped up together. My goal is to get this information displayed on an IOS by any means whether through browser or an application. The process that makes this difficult is that the website in the zipped up folder can not be hosted for security reasons. I have tried downloading the HTML zip on to my device and displaying it their through the native browser to no luck. Most tutorials suggest hosting the information and displaying the information through a web viewer provided by xcode; however I cannot host this information, needs to able to be viewed offline. What's the best way to get this done?
I have an excel sheet with links to local folders. To make it more device "friendly" I save it as html. All is fine, but the links open on the web browser, not windows file explorer.
I know that html does not open aps, but I do not know if opening a local folder with windows file explorer is considered an app, or I miss something.
Excel: =hyperlink("c:\testfolder")
Of course another suggestion on the matter is welcome...
add file:// to the link
=hyperlink("file://c:\testfolder")
So I downloaded my own portfolio after making it through a portfolio maker and decided to download it, modify the html files to my liking and then wanted to upload them to a web hoster where I would use my own domain for it, however when I tried uploading my files to the main folder on my website's directory and check the website out it simply shows me a blank page, even though it actually displays my logo on the tab on top. When I open the index.html with Chrome from my local files it displays my website perfectly however when I upload it to my website and try view it that's when I get a problem. I have tried using 2 different web hosters and tried uploading my files through FTP and direct upload and still got the same blank page.
NOTE: I uploaded all the files in my site folder not just the index.html and if it works when I opened it with Chrome I don't see why it wouldn't work on my website.
It looks like you have forgotten to upload some files:
All the ones marked 404 are missing and need to be uploaded.
I have a webpage where the images are not being found (running chrome). I synced the remote directory with my local one, so all files should be identical, however I can see the images locally but not on the remote site. Can anyone explain why?
I have the following directory where my index.html is:
icons/circle/*.png, where * is some generic social media i.e. (facebook, twitter, etc.)
using this code to show it on html
<img class="social-media" src="icons/circle/facebook.png">
But it only shows when I view my webpage locally, not when everything is uploaded to the server.

I decided to just create another folder to hold all my icons, now they work for some reason. Still never found out the underlying cause of this.
