What is Dropley?

Dropley is the fastest way to publish a static HTML site on the web. Start with a single index.html, a folder, or a ZIP archive that contains an index.html, and Dropley returns a public URL you can share immediately — no accounts, no build pipelines, no servers to configure. It is built for AI coding assistants and the developers who use them: when an agent generates a static website, report, or dashboard, Dropley turns that output into a live link in seconds.

Why Dropley exists

AI assistants now produce finished static sites constantly, but the gap between "files on disk" and "a link I can send someone" has stayed awkward. Dropley closes that gap. Publishing is deliberately one primary action — upload your static bundle, get your URL — so both humans and agents can complete the flow without navigating dashboards or configuring hosting.

How publishing works

Drop a single index.html, a folder, or a .zip containing your static site onto the homepage. A ZIP is unpacked in your browser before the files are published at a short URL such as https://dropley.app/p/<artifactId> and served over HTTPS from Cloudflare's global network. You choose an expiration window at upload time; when it lapses, the artifact and its underlying files are deleted automatically. Published artifacts carry zero Dropley branding, so the result looks entirely like your work — because it is.

Dropley is operated from the United States and runs entirely on Cloudflare's edge network.
