Echo Show - load a HTML file

I have a fire tablet I use in show mode and run a html file on it nicely.
I can't figure out a way to get a html file to the Show so its browser can access it.
Anyone here played with such?
  • Install Chrome. It will display HTML and dozens of other types of files.

    Ctrl + O should open a file browser window.
  • Built in Silk browser should work. Where is the html file? It needs to be on a web server of some sort.

    On edit, looks like Amazon is adding the Silk browser and Firefox to the show, very soon, if it's not available yet.

    So far I have tried downloading from onedrive with foxfire (which is live now as is Silk) but can't locate it if indeed it is saved, it is otherwise ignored.
  • I guess I'm going to have to put together a quick and dirty webserver -

    The show, unlike the fire tablets apparently has no apps like file manager, etc., so I can't get in that way.
