Is there a way of uploading my game somewhere so other people can play it.

Can I upload it to google drive/? Or anywhere else?

Dropbox works, Google Drive works too - both will need an html file which links to the game code.

 

Alternatively some free / super cheap web space? Or a site like itch.io or newgrounds.

If you want something easy to use, I reccomend Newgrounds. You just put everything on a zip file, create a new project on the site and upload it. The community there is nice and gives good feedback.

Depending where you are, a company called CloudAtCost may be decent (also depending on your skill with unix systems)

 

I bought a couple 1time fee servers a couple years ago, and aside from the odd hicup they are great for hosting my projects on

I've posted the few I've made to http://gamejolt.com.   It's free to join, and free to post.   The site has ads, and as an author, you are supposed to get a percentage.   But so far I've only made chump change.
