Google drive html website not showing up: error 404

Question

Google drive hosts html websites for free. I had my html files uploaded in my google drive, and the website was up and running. However, I deleted that folder and tried to repost the website again, but it didn't work. When I re-uploaded the website into my google drive and previewed it, it came up with a 404 error instead of my homepage. Everything is "shared as public on the web." here is my re-uploaded (currently) website folder in my google drive. it only contains an index.html file right now for simplicity.

in summary, my problem is that my google drive website comes up with a 404 error instead of my website. Please help. thanks.

Answer 1

I had been using encoded html in my website, and that was the thing messing with my google drive hosting. When i removed the encoded html and replaced it with normal html, it all worked perfectly.
