Getting Started

This guide walks you through publishing your first artifact on Dropley. 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 has an index.html at the root level. Assets (CSS, JS, images) can be at relative paths. Package into a ZIP, or just keep your folder structure as-is.

Upload to Dropley

Go to dropley.app and drag your files onto the upload area. You can drop a ZIP, a folder, or multiple files. Or click the upload area to select files from your computer.

Set expiration

Choose how long your artifact should live: 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 15 days, or 30 days. The default is 7 days.

Get your URL

After uploading, you'll receive a public URL like https://preview.dropley.app/p/abc12345. Share it with anyone.

That's it. Your artifact is live. Share the URL via chat, email, or embed it anywhere.
