Chrome Web Server

When we are downloading the Web Server for Chrome and adding a folder from our hard drive to that app, does it make accessible for other Chrome users? Or is it still accessible through only my google account?

that depends on, if you have a standalone device (like your own personal device)- everyone who have access to chrome can use apps installed and can add folders . so you can limit access to this folders by setting access permission to it. and if you have an active directory domain based device, you can configure which user can do what on each device

This is a web Server for Chrome, serves web pages from a local folder over the LOCAL network, using HTTP. And it runs offline. Many people use this to do basic web development/testing . you can access it locally only. you choose your folder once, and then start the service, Once you configure it, navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8887 to view your website if you want others to view your website through the internet, you have to buy a domain and host at one of the web hosting companies like hostgator.com or godaddy.com. best of luck

Fady Toma but every time when I load the server app, it asks a folder to upload. So, folders that I've uploaded before aren't being saved there. How can others access my server?
