What is Dropley?
Dropley turns finished static browser files into publicly accessible websites. Drop a single
index.html, a folder, or a ZIP containing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and assets, and Dropley serves the static artifact at a shareable URL. Your artifact lives from 1 to 7 days — three days by default, adjustable after publishing — and you share the link with anyone.Key Features
- One action: Drop your files. Get a URL. Done.
- No account required: No signup, no login, no dashboard.
- Shareable URLs: Your artifact lives at
preview.dropley.app/p/{shortId}. - Configurable expiration: Set 1, 3, or 7 days in the manage panel after publishing — 3 days by default.
- Any static project: Single HTML pages, full sites with assets, Storybook exports, AI-generated content.
