Netlify Drop alternative

A Netlify Drop alternative for files and simple sites

Netlify Drop is great for developers deploying a folder. Droply is for sending a page, a PDF or a video as a link with a name you choose.

Free plan: 1 project, files up to 10 MB, no expiry · no card needed

Netlify Drop publishes a dragged-in folder, but until you claim the site with a Netlify account it sits behind a temporary password, and it has no viewer for PDFs or video. Droply takes HTML files, ZIPs, PDFs, images and videos, gives the link a name you choose, and keeps it online on the free plan with no expiry. For a developer workflow with git and build previews, Netlify is the better pick.

Type a name

Your link is name.droply.page, chosen before you upload.

An HTML file, a ZIP of your site, a PDF, images or a video.

When to stay with Netlify

If you deploy from a git repository, want preview links for every pull request or need serverless functions, Netlify does that and Droply doesn't. Droply is for the times you just need to hand someone a link.

Questions

Is there a Netlify Drop alternative without an account?

Most hosts need an account so the site can be managed later. Droply asks you to sign in with Google or an email code after you drop the file, and the link works immediately.

Does Droply work for a whole website?

Yes. Upload a ZIP of the site's files with index.html at the top level, and every page keeps its path.

Can I move a site from Netlify to Droply?

Download or rebuild the site's files, zip the contents of the output folder, and upload the ZIP. Point your domain at Droply on the Plus plan.

Drag, drop, send the link

Drop the file in, pick a name, and send the link. It opens on any phone or computer.
