Many people sharpen their drill bits on a grinder. It's tricky to describe how and I'd advise asking an expert to actually show you, or second best, look at some YouTube videos on the subject.

You sharpen the top, follow same clearance angle, you should not sharpen the face(flute) this can cause the od of the drill too shrink, drills are tapered in length and twist drills have a very small radial land unlike a reg drill.

How do you sharpen hss drill bits?

HSS bits are best sharpened using a bench grinder. The trick is to ensure that the back edge is ground a little more than the cutting edge. Ensuring the cutting edge meets the metal rather that the bit riding on the non cutting surface and just polishing the metal. Ensure that both sides are ground evenly and that the original angle of the drill is maintained. Practise on some old bits before sharpening any expensive bits.
