How can access my webpage without domain?

Hi, I, of course, can view my website on my desktop, but I would like to view it and do some work on the responsive feature on my smartphone. I don't have a domain yet, and I was wondering how I can do this without accessing workspaces on a touch device.

Thanks!

You could upload the files to Google Drive (html/CSS files) or Dropbox.

ok, thanks

I'm sure glad more people gave you better options. I will be checking those out as well.

Geez...Google Docs...sorry about that one. Guess I need to up my game

Dude, it works though, sometimes simpler is better. I use to use a free dropbox account in kinda the same way.

Cool, thanks for making me feel better!

Heroku has a free level of hosting you can put most website on. It's prefect for this kind of stuff. This is overkill fyi, but good practice.

You can also use a Cloud9 account to not only code in, but view your site with, because the preview in C9 is also public with the URL that is generated.

Browsersync is a really good option for local development.

You can link multiple devices up to the same url, and what's great is that they all get synced together so if you scroll on one they all scroll. Also you can set the browser to refresh every time you save a file.

It works really well with Gulp, if you haven't started using Gulp yet there's a few really great courses here on treehouse you could take a look at.

k. thanks!
