When I try to save a web page using the format "Web Page, Complete," half of the time it only saves the the folder containing the style sheet and images, and the .html file is not saved anywhere on my hard drive. How do I correct this? I have noticed it also happens when I use Safari, so it is not just an isolated issue with Google Chrome.
First save the whole page (webpage,complete) which may only save the folder containing the style sheets and images, again press CTRL+S to save the page but this time select to save only the HTML page by clicking on- (webpage,HTML only).
When directory is saved but not the file, try the following:
In "File name:" include the .html extension (example:
SampleFileName.html), and
Select Webpage, Complete in "Save as Type:"
Seems to fix the bug.

I'm trying to the get a hyperlink to produce a download of a .pdf file when clicked, but instead the pdf is opened directly in the browser.
I've tried moving the pdf from the root folder (that shared with the index) to a subfolder to no avail. I've found other examples of this problem on this site where they seemed to have mis-entered the attribute, but I can't see where I made my mistake if I did.
Download factfile (pdf, 4mb) which contains lots more information, including an FAQ.</p>
It is because Google Chrome is automatically set to open pdf automatically rather than download.
To fix this issue go to 3 dots Options > Privacy & Security > Site Settings > Additional Content Settings > PDF Documents. There you will find "Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome". Click on the button ( I don't know what it is in english sorry ) and you will fix the issue.
I can't see the embedded images upon opening an HTML file from Dropbox, however when the folder was on the local system, the images did load properly.
Here's the HTML text that I wrote:
<img src="files/image1.png">
The HTML page shows the following sign in place of rendering the image:
Any help will be much appreciated.
you have to make sure files in the dropbox are public, not private. if it is public, then, go to the picture in the dropbox, and right-click it. click to "copy image address". and paste it to the .
hopefully, this will help
One workaround that worked for me was to sync the Dropbox folder locally. I could thus view the same HTML page in order (without making any changes).
I have a simple HTML file that sits on my website. I use this with <div contenteditable="true"> sections and I edit the content on the fly and send it as an HTML email.
If something goes wrong, I save the file as HTML in case I need to retrieve the message sent on any given day.
The problem is saving the HTML from the browser to you computer will save the images and change the src in the file to that location in your directory. I'd like to avoid this behavior since:
I don't want copies of the same images saving every single day.
If I need to resend I can just open up that file from my computer, copy, and send in an email easily. But if I delete them from my computer, then the new src's will point to the wrong place.
So is there a way to tell Chrome not to alter the HTML when it saves and to not save images?
Type ctrl-u on Firefox or Chrome to view html source, then copy and paste to your text editor. Save file with html extension.
How can I preview an HTML file on Google Drive? I did a bit of research and it seems hosting HTML has been deprecated by Google in 2016. I tried to open the direct link of the HTML file but it downloads it and doesn't display it. Any workaround ?
Thanks :D
Ironically Google, a company built on html, still has no good solutions for handling .html files on Drive: I'm web developer! If you create a .html file within any text editor (Mac, Linux or MS) and save it with a .html extension (e.g. test.html), that file is now a Browser file, not a text or Doc file. G-Drive was created to be a cloud replacement for MS Office suite of products (Word, Excel, and so forth). It will even save a .txt (or text) file, and display it back as such.
However, a file dropped in Drive (via the Chrome browser) with a .html extension; if you simply click on it, it will be opened by/in Docs, and displayed therein as a web page (and poorly too, since it cannot connect to the styling of the .css file). If you right-click on it, and select "display", it will give a similar display only without opening it in Docs. If you right-click and select "download" it will download in .doc format. Yes, worthless! I copy the html, code and all from the file on my PC, and paste it into a blank Doc file, which is OK for a backup of that file, plus it will spell-check and all, but it is not an easy way to cloud save or sync. And, it cannot open the browser to view it, because it is internal to (or already inside of) the browser. The only accurate way to preview a .html file, is for the file to be external to a browser (any web browser), and then opened inside or with that browser.
To repeat: If you simply click on it, it will be opened by/in Docs, and displayed therein as a web page (and poorly too, since it cannot connect to the styling of the .css file). If you right-click on it, and select "display", it will give a similar display only without opening it in Docs.
I am not exactly sure what you mean by display. If you just want to preview a file in google drive open it and see its contents then the only types are
PDF, Microsoft Office file, audio file, or photo.
Just double click your html file you can preview it in drive.
please see View and open files
If you are actually talking about web hosting a html file then. Hosting of HTML files from within Google drive was Deprecating in August of 2015 and shut down completely in August of 2016 so you can no longer host HTML files directly via Google drive Please see Deprecating web hosting support in Google Drive
Alternative would be to use Google Domains to host a site that way this option is not free as far as I know.
When I save a page from my website, I will get an html file and a folder that contains all photos, css and js files.
Is there a way to save only the html file?
I've just found that if you are using Google Chrome you can choose which one you want to save from the dropdown menu 'Save as type'. If you talk about preventing the user to save your HTML - it's not possible, if the browser can see the page, the user can view the source code and save the page.
If you use Microsoft Edge browser, do the following: ctrl+s then select html only on the drop-down menu.
you will get one html file without any extra folders.
