Rendering static HTML pages from SharePoint Online
As far as I know we cannot render static HTML pages from SharePoint Online site. They are being downloaded when clicked. However, recently, since last 2 days, many users are complaining that the html file links when click popups users to download the files whic previously were getting rendered in browser. Has anything changes recently, like any settings which by default allowed to default not allowed?

we also faced similar problems after migration from on-premsie to cloud.
To fix this, we changed the extension of the html files to aspx.
S_S_Ramana I can but that doen't solve our purpose. There are many files in multiple folders across multiple sites. Also users are accustomed to html rather than aspx.
- I have just tested this and what I see is that when you upload a very simple HTML page in a SPO Document Library, the Office 365 File Viewer is able to render it with no problems...so the issues your users are having could be related to the HTML files that are complex to deal with in the file viewer...just a guess
Are you able to render the file in browser via a direct path? Not via the File Viewer. Direct file path like

- That's not going to work!
