Solution

You have today a lot of options. Here are just a few:

  • Cloud9, an IDE for JavaScript, Python, PHP, and Ruby. Cloud9 uses the HTML5 FileSystem capability and AppCache to sync files, so you can even code offline.
  • Neutron Drive seems like a good option with a close integration with Google drive and lots of languages its support.
  • ShiftEdit - which give you many options to develop in your language: PHP, Ruby, HTML, CSS and JavaScript and then by using (S)FTP you can save your work to Dropbox or Google Drive.
  • Kodingen is another IDE that includs: Code Editor, Cloud Hosting, Database Administration and collaboration
  • Codey - Easy to use code editor for HTML, PHP, CSS, JS.
  • Akshell - Server-side JavaScript development and hosting platform. They got some git integration built in their IDE.
  • eXo Cloud IDE - an IDE that support: HTML/CSS/JS and PHP/JAVA/RUBY and many more options.

For more, here is an 'old' post I wrote on this topic when the first Chromebook was launched.

OTHER TIPS

  • CodeAnyWhere a code editor in a browser with an integrated ftp client, and all popular web formats are supported (HTML, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and XML).

goormIDE - an opensource IDE based on node.js for JavaScript, Python, PHP, JSP, C/C++, JAVA, Ruby, Go, Dart, and so on. it provides beta-version in opensource via github.com and beta-service on goorm.io, now. if you want this, just type 'npm install goorm -g' for your local machine.
