    For those who don't know or cant upload their game to the internet to show the game off, well here's a Tutorial on how to do so.

    Note : If you havent had a dropbox account before October 4 2012, you will require a pro or business dropbox account to enable your public folder(if you dont have one).
    Meaning, if you create a dropbox account after October 4 2012, you will need a pro account to have a public folder.

    The Google drive method (Steps) :
    Note : When building the webplayer, make sure the Offline deployment option is checked off,
    Requirements :
    • A Google drive account
    • Your game .html and .unity3d files
    • Google drive Installed(Optional)
    Video :


    Step 1 : Go to drive.google.com and sign in, or sign up

    Step 2 : Create a folder for your webplayer, inside it, upload your .html and .unity3d files

    Step 3 : Right click on the folder, select share, Then click on advanced

    Step 4 : Make sure that the folder is public and anyone can view it

    Step 5 : Click done, then Right click folder, select share, and copy the shareable link

    Step 6 : Copy the ID from this link (which looks like this https://drive.google.com/file/d/[here_goes_your_id]/view?usp=sharing ) to this template: https://googledrive.com/host/[here_goes_your_id]

    Step 7 : Add the name of your .html file at the end of the url. For example : https://googledrive.com/host/[here_goes_your_id]/yourHTMLfile.html

    Step 8(Optional) : Go to http://tiny.cc and shorten the link
    The Dropbox method (Steps) :
    https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/16 - What is a public dropbox folder

    Requirements :
    • A Dropbox account (Requires pro user if created after October 4 2012)
    • Your game html. and .unity3d files
    • Dropbox Installed(Optional)
    Step 1 : Go To dropbox.com and sign in, or sign up

    Step 2(Optional) : Download Dropbox client for your Desktop.

    Step 3 : Go here, to create a public folder if you dont have one in the root of dropbox

    Step 4 : Inside the public folder, place your yourgame.unity3d, and yourgame.html

    Step 5 : Select the html file and copy its public link.
    This is the url to the webplayer game.

    Step 6 : Change from https:// To http://

    Step 7(Optional) : Go to http://tiny.cc and shorten the link

    And ensure any links you share begin with http:// not https://
