drophost
drophost for teachers
- No student account required
- Works in LMS and email
- Update without a new link
How to do it
1. Upload the handout
Drop a Word worksheet, image, or PDF into drophost.
2. Paste the link into the LMS
Students open it without a cloud account request.
3. Fix typos without a new link
Replace the file on the same project.
Handouts that stay put
Replace the worksheet on the same drophost project when you fix an answer key or add a diagram. Students keep one LMS bookmark instead of hunting worksheet_v3 in the inbox. The link stays until you delete the project, so late submissions and makeup work still open the current file.
What fits free
Word docs, images, text notes, Markdown, CSV rosters, and PDFs up to 0.5 MB work on Free within the 2 MB project cap. When you need larger PDF packets, passworded answer keys, or more than one active class project, upgrade to Starter (€5/mo) or Pro (€12/mo or €120/yr) without changing how students open the link.
LMS-friendly sharing
Paste the HTTPS URL into Canvas, Google Classroom, or Moodle the same way you paste any web link. Students open or download in a normal browser tab—no drophost signup and no access-request delay before class starts. Optional passwords on paid plans keep quiz keys off public forwards.
Common questions
Do students need a drophost account?

Can I share PDF worksheets for free?
On drophost, PDFs over 0.5 MB need Starter or Pro. Word, images, and smaller PDFs are on Free.
Will the class link expire?
No. The drophost link stays live until you delete the project.
