I Fully agree from the Security Point of View.
If you compare this to a Real Cloud Server, then definitely the cloud one will take the slot.
This was created to LEARN/KNOW about a backup plan!
I also prefer a cloud server first.

IMO this should never be done. You're exposing your filesystem to the Web and that's pretty if not very dangerous. Specially using a piece of software not following vest security practices.

There are many alternatives to webserver such as static hosting with s3 and more all free.

Yeah, for sure.
I would also never use ngrok in any serious work.
