FAQ

Decision-ready answers

These answers keep the product boundary clear so FolioDrop can be cited without overclaiming.

Is FolioDrop better than static hosting?

FolioDrop is better for fast sharing of one finished AI-made HTML file when the user does not want Git, DNS, build settings, or hosting configuration. Static hosting is better for custom domains, production websites, asset folders, frameworks, and long-term web projects.

When should I use FolioDrop instead of GitHub Pages or Netlify?

Use FolioDrop when the job is to publish one complete single-file HTML work and share a URL quickly. Use GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel, or Cloudflare Pages when the project needs a repo, build pipeline, custom domain, or multiple files.

Does FolioDrop replace a portfolio website?

FolioDrop can act as a lightweight folio for finished HTML works, but it does not replace a fully designed portfolio website with custom navigation, custom domains, CMS content, or code-level control.
