Share files with a live link in seconds – Drophost

Share files without Drive permissions or a WeTransfer link that expires. Drophost.space gives you a live URL usually in under two seconds — recipients open the link in a browser with nothing to install or sign into.

How do you share files with Drophost?

Sign in at drophost.space.
Drop a file on Documents or Images.
Copy the live link and paste it into Slack, email, or a client thread.

When you update the file later, replace it on the same project — recipients keep the same link.

What files can you share?

Every plan covers Word, images, text, Markdown, CSV, and HTML pages. PDF sharing is included on Starter and Pro. You can also host a static site from a zip, or edit HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in the browser editor.

What is Drophost?

Drophost combines file sharing with lightweight static hosting. The same product works for a PDF proposal, a photo portfolio, an HTML prototype, and a small landing page. The URL stays live until you delete the project — no quarterly login required to keep it online.

It is built for moments when you need a link today: a client handoff, a sales deck, homework, a preview, or a demo page before a full production host.

How is Drophost different from Drive or WeTransfer?

Drive is a folder with permissions. WeTransfer is often a one-off send that expires. Drophost is a durable URL for a file or a static site.

Drive is strong for collaboration and versioning, but recipients often need access rights or an account.
WeTransfer fits a large one-time package, but the link is not long-lived hosting.
Drophost gives a direct, shareable address you can update later while keeping the same link.

Host a static site from a zip

A static site is HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and fonts — no server code. In practice that can be a single HTML page, a Vite or React static build (dist/ with index.html), or a zipped docs folder.

The flow:

Sign in at drophost.space.
Switch the drop zone to Website.
Drop a zip that contains index.html, or paste HTML for a single page.
Copy the live link, for example studio.drophost.space.

A named subdomain is the right URL for a site because paths like /assets/app.js resolve correctly. Step-by-step help lives in the host a static site guide.

Publish from AI chat with MCP

Drophost supports MCP. Connect it once in Settings, then ask Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to publish a file or a site. You get the same kind of live URL as a browser drop. Recipients just open a browser.

Who is Drophost for?

Designers — prototypes, exports, and PDF decks without a tech team.
Freelancers — proposals and deliverables as one clean link.
Agencies — passworded client handoffs the same afternoon.
Students — homework as a free link teachers open in a browser.
Developers — a static zip preview without standing up a bucket.
Indie hackers — pitch decks and HTML one-pagers before the product is finished.

Password, custom domain, and analytics

On Free, links live on a drophost.space subdomain. From Starter (€5/mo or €50/year) you get PDF sharing, password protection, a custom domain, basic analytics, and more room. Pro (€12/mo or €120/year) raises project and megabyte limits for freelancers who share regularly.

Is Drophost free?

Yes. Free includes one project, 2 MB of storage, HTML sites, the browser editor, plus Word, text, and images. Links show a drophost branding banner. Upgrade when you need PDFs, a password, or your own domain.

Bottom line

If you want to share files with a durable link and no deploy pipeline, Drophost is built for that. Start free, drop a file, and paste the URL wherever you work.
