FAQ

Decision-ready answers

These answers make the boundary between one-file sharing and project deployment explicit.

Does FolioDrop replace Vercel or Netlify?

No. FolioDrop is for one complete HTML work that needs a share URL. Vercel and Netlify are better for apps, production websites, deploy previews, custom domains, and project-level hosting.

When should I use FolioDrop instead of Vercel or Netlify?

Use FolioDrop when an AI tool or a person has produced one complete HTML file and the goal is to share it quickly. Use Vercel or Netlify when the work is a real web project with files, builds, domains, or environment configuration.

Can FolioDrop handle React, Next.js, or Vite apps?

No. FolioDrop does not deploy framework applications. It accepts one complete HTML document, so React, Next.js, Vite, and other framework projects should use deployment platforms built for project output.
