Replace a file and keep the URL on drophost

drophost keeps the same URL when you replace a file or site zip.Re-upload new bytes into the project so CRM notes, LMS bookmarks, and client emails keep working without a resend. Free covers supported docs and HTML sites at 2 MB on one project; PDF and larger storage need Starter (€5/mo) or Pro (€12/mo). Recipients never need a new link or a drophost account.Same URL, new bytes

  • No new link per revision
  • Works for files and site zips
  • CRM and Slack stay tidy

How to do it

  1. 1. Open the existing project

    Find the project that already has the shared URL.

  2. 2. Upload the new version

    Replace the file or site zip.

  3. 3. Keep sharing the same URL

    Stakeholders do not need a new link.

How it works

Open the project in the dashboard, upload the replacement file or zip, and keep sharing the original HTTPS path. Recipients who bookmarked the link see the latest bytes on the next open. There is no new subdomain per revision and no forced rename like final_v7.pdf in the thread.

Where it helps most

Proposals, pitch decks, HTML prototypes, homework handouts, and invoice PDFs get revised after the first send. Keep one CRM or ticket field pointed at drophost and replace content as the deal, class, or bug report evolves. Optional passwords on paid plans stay attached to the same project URL.

Files and static sites

Replace works for Word, images, Markdown, CSV, PDFs on paid plans, and static site zips with index.html. Prefer a named subdomain for sites so asset paths keep resolving after each zip replace. Links remain until you delete the project—replace never creates a transfer expiration.

Common questions

Can I update a drophost file without changing the URL?

Yes. Upload a new version to the same drophost project. The path stays put.

Does this work for static sites too?

Yes. Replace the zip or HTML on drophost and keep the same subdomain.

Do recipients need to refresh?

They open the same drophost URL. Browsers may cache briefly; a normal reload shows the new file.
