CHROME EXTENSION
The Chrome extension publishes from your toolbar
A side panel that takes a file or a block of pasted HTML and puts it on a live link, without going to the dashboard or leaving the tab you are in.
Free plan, free SSL, no credit card.
Plan availability
Which plans include chrome extension
The extension works on every plan, free included. It signs in with an emailed code rather than a raw API token, which is why it is not gated the way the API is.
- Free Included
- Starter Included
- Pro Included
- Business Included
- Enterprise Included
Read from the plan records this account is billed against, not from a page someone wrote, so it cannot disagree with what happens when you click the button. See every plan and its limits.
What it does
One click from the toolbar to a link
Pin the icon, open the panel, drop a file or paste HTML, and the panel hands back the live address.
The extension is a side panel rather than a popup, which means it stays open while you work in the page beside it. You either drag a file onto it or paste a block of HTML into it, and it publishes through exactly the same pipeline as the dashboard: the same size limits, the same security check on the deploy, the same site list afterwards. The result appears in your account like anything else, so it can get a domain or a password later without being republished.
It signs in with a code sent to your email, and the credential it stores is scoped so it can do one thing: publish. That is why it works on every plan including free, while raw API tokens are a paid feature. The two are genuinely different credentials, and the distinction is worth knowing before you go looking for a token you do not need. The panel is the shortest path from "I have this HTML in front of me" to "here is a link", which in practice is most of what people want from a static host.
How to use it
Three steps
-
Install it and pin the icon
Install from the Chrome Web Store listing, then pin the icon so the panel is one click away. Any Chromium browser that loads MV3 extensions will do.
-
Sign in with an emailed code
Enter the email on your account and paste the code we send. No password and no token to copy.
-
Drop a file or paste HTML
The panel publishes it and shows you the live address. It appears in your dashboard alongside everything else.
Where it earns its keep
When people reach for this
HTML an assistant just wrote for you
Copy the block out of the chat, paste it into the panel, get a link. Hosting an AI-generated website covers what to do when the output is a whole project rather than one file.
A file somebody needs right now
A PDF or an image that has to be a link rather than an attachment, without opening another tab to do it.
A quick check of something you are writing
Publish a draft page, look at it on your phone, then re-publish. The address stays the same each time.
The alternative
Doing this without us
The alternative is the dashboard, which is fine, and a few more steps.
| Droply | Going to the dashboard | |
|---|---|---|
| Leaving the page you are on | No. The panel opens beside it. | A new tab, and back again afterwards. |
| Publishing pasted HTML | Paste into the panel. | Save it as a file first, then upload it. |
| Signing in | Once, with an emailed code. | Whenever the session lapses. |
| What it costs | Nothing, on every plan including free. | Nothing, on every plan including free. |
Compared against the dashboard upload flow, which is the same product and the honest baseline here. Checked September 2026.
When this is not the right tool
It is a publish button. Managing what you published still happens in the dashboard.
- It does not manage sites. Domains, passwords, expiry and rollback are dashboard settings.
- It publishes what you hand it. It does not build a project, so a framework app still needs a build first.
- It needs an existing account. Sign-up and billing stay on the site.
- Plan limits apply. An upload over your plan's size cap is refused in the panel the same way it would be anywhere else.
