Password-protected link

Put a page online behind a password

Upload the page, set a password, send the link. Only people with the password can open it, and you see how often it's viewed.

Static hosts usually can't password-protect a page without code or a server setting. On Droply, open a project, switch on Password protection and type a password. Visitors see a password screen first; after the right password the page, PDF or files open as normal. It's on the Plus plan ($12 a month billed yearly) and up.

1

Upload

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

2

Set a password

In the project's settings, turn on Password protection and type the password.

3

Send link and password

Send them separately for extra safety. Change the password any time.

What people protect

  • Client previews and prototypes before launch
  • Proposals, price lists and reports
  • Course material or a members-only page
  • Portfolios with work under NDA

More ways to control access

  • Email capture: ask visitors for their email before the page opens (Plus)
  • Turn off downloads for PDFs and files (Pro)
  • Hide the page from search engines (Pro)
  • Your own domain instead of droply.page (Plus)

How safe is it?

The password is checked on Droply's server before any of the page is sent, so it can't be skipped by reading the page's code. The link is served over HTTPS. For truly secret material, use a long password and send it through a different channel than the link.

Questions

Can I password protect an HTML file for free?

Password protection starts on the Plus plan ($12 a month billed yearly). There's a 7-day free trial, and a 7-day money-back guarantee after that.

Does the password protect every page of my site?

Yes. The password covers the whole project: every page, image and file in it.

Can visitors stay signed in?

Yes. After the right password, the browser remembers it for that project, so they don't have to type it on every page.

Share it with the right people only

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