Hosting custom HTML in Google drive

I have spent hours to trying to host some of my local HTML pages with Google Drive.

I was following the instructions as given in https://www.ecanarys.com/Blogs/ArticleID/135/How-to-Host-your-Webpages-on-Google-Drive, however without any success.

So far the steps I followed -

  1. Created a folder in the Google drive

  2. Uploaded all files and folders including the HTML, CSS and other required files using drag-and-drop facility

  3. Changed the sharing option to 'Anyone on the internet with this link can view' attached shanpshot enter image description here

  4. Next I go to the required HTML page and click Preview enter image description here

  5. As per the instruction, I should get some link to display the page through Browser. However I just see the source-code.

Could you please help me the right way to host my HTML page with Google-Drive.

Any pointer will be highly appreciated.
