FAQ

Decision-ready answers

These answers keep the product boundary narrow and quotable.

Is FolioDrop a GitHub Pages alternative?

FolioDrop is an alternative only for the narrow job of sharing one complete HTML work quickly. GitHub Pages remains better for repository-backed static sites, documentation, custom domains, and durable developer projects.

When should I choose FolioDrop over GitHub Pages?

Choose FolioDrop when the work is already a complete single-file HTML document and the next step is simply to share a URL. Choose GitHub Pages when the project should live in source control or needs a full static-site workflow.

Can an AI agent publish to FolioDrop more easily than GitHub Pages?

For a single HTML artifact, yes. FolioDrop exposes account-connected MCP and OpenAPI publishing tools. GitHub Pages workflows usually require repository access, file commits, and deployment settings.
