Since Google Drive and OneDrive don't have built-in ways to host websites, you'll need to use a free service called DriveToWeb. DriveToWeb connects to your Google Drive or OneDrive account, looks for any publicly accessible HTML pages and assets, then takes those files and serves them through its own web server.
Here are the 10 best free website builders:
- Wix – Best All-Around Website Builder.
- Weebly – Ideal for Small Businesses.
- SITE123 – Great Design Assistance.
- WordPress – Perfect for Blogging.
- Strikingly – Made for Simple Websites.
- Jimdo – Small Online Store Builder.
- SimpleSite – Great Mobile Editor.

- Select Enabled to enable static website hosting for the storage account.
You can also use Design Manager to brand the public-facing website in Office 365. This extensibility option is only available for classic SharePoint experiences. You cannot use this option with modern experiences in SharePoint Online, like with communication sites.

OneDrive is a consumer service tied to a Microsoft account. It includes a free tier that offers 5GB of file storage.
