Getting Started

This guide walks you through publishing your first artifact on Dropley. Drop your project onto the homepage canvas and you'll have a publicly shareable URL in under a minute.

Prerequisites

  • Your project files — a ZIP, a folder, or individual HTML/CSS/JS files
  • No account or signup required
Dropley accepts ZIP archives, folders, or loose files. Just make sure your project includes an index.html entry point.

Publishing Steps

    Prepare your files

    Make sure your project includes an index.html. Assets (CSS, JS, images) can be at relative paths. Package into a ZIP, or keep your folder structure as-is. If there is more than one index.html, Dropley uses the one nearest the top of the project.

    Upload on the homepage canvas

    Go to dropley.app. The entire homepage is your upload canvas — there's no separate upload form. Publish in whichever way suits you:
    • Drag and drop: drag a ZIP, a folder, or multiple files anywhere onto the page
    • Click: click the canvas and select files from your computer
    • Keyboard: press Tab until the canvas is focused, then Enter to open the file picker
    If publishing fails, the page tells you what went wrong — work through the fixes in Troubleshooting.

    Get your URL

    Your artifact goes live as soon as publishing finishes, with a public URL like https://preview.dropley.app/p/abc12345. You don't pick an expiration before uploading: the default lifetime of 3 days applies automatically at publish. Every artifact expires — there is no permanent option.

    Adjust expiry and tags

    An inline manage panel appears under your URL right after publishing. From there you can:
    • Change the expiration to 1, 3, or 7 days
    • Add an optional source tag noting what created the artifact (for example, an AI assistant such as Claude Code or Cursor)
    • Edit the artifact's tags, when tag editing is enabled

    Share and revisit

    That's it. Share the URL via chat, email, or embed it anywhere. A recent publishes strip keeps your last few publishes handy so you can reopen or forget them. This history lives only in your browser — Dropley has no accounts or dashboard, so it isn't synced anywhere.

Next Steps

Publishing from an AI Assistant

If you want to publish Dropley artifacts directly from Claude, Codex, Gemini, or another AI coding assistant, check the AI Assistant Guides.
