Tutorial

It seems Dropbox does not provide public folders anymore from October 2012.

I very much would like to use this script/app but I am not exactly sure how to set this up. Could you provide a step by step tutorial?

Dropbox only provides "Sharing" of links now, but at the end of such a sharing link is rather download or preview page of files, not your actual HTML file:

Where am I suppose do point my browser to afterwards, to the "Server" folder, "localhost" folder or index.html?

My folder structure is like this:

Dropbox

• Server
• - localhost
• - - [all of your Remote-Preview files]

Thank you for any hints.

For Helsinki Open Device Lab, we are basically just using it under devicelab.fi, like this:

1. Create a folder to the server caller “remote” and put everything in this repo in to that folder.
2. Point your mobile devices to that address (if devicelab.fi is the domain, the url would be devicelab.fi/remote/ )
3. Password protect devicelab.fi/remote/control/ folder with .htaccess basic auth
4. Use devicelab.fi/remote/control/ to control the devices

Thank you, that worked!

Additionally, I am under the impression that Google Drive can also be used in this way as you were using dropbox. I have seen some forum posts indicating developers using it to test static content (non database driven stuff) However, since this uses php I am not sure it will work the same...

Our lab in Puerto Rico (PRODL) just got the second device a couple of days ago, and we will start testing this next week - we got a simple table coming in for the next week also... one more device and we can call it a lab :D
