Alternative to Gdrive:Host JS and CSS on Dropbox

For  the past few months, I have been searching for a good alternative to Google drive for hosting Javascript(JS) as well as CSS. I was searching about this because of this sad news that google is deprecating the service of hosting Javascript and CSS (or web pages) on Google drive and you might also be searching for this.During my search, I came across many free CDN services for hosting Javascript and CSS and also some drive like services which also you to store and host data.Here I will mention Dropbox which I found the most suitable alternative to google drive when it comes to hosting. Both Google and Dropbox provide free css hosting.Hosting scripts is very important for bloggers and website owners as it reduces the page size as well makes the page load faster which is good for SEO.
