drophost
Share a README on drophost
- .md on every plan
- No GitHub account needed
- Replace as docs change
How to do it
1. Sign in and open the right tab
Stay on File for documents and images, or Website for HTML and zips.
2. Upload and publish
drophost hosts a README.md when the audience is not on GitHub. Drop the Markdown file and share a URL recipients can open without a repo.
3. Share the live URL
Copy the HTTPS link. Replace the file later on the same project when you need updates.
Outside the repository
Send setup notes to clients, contractors, or non-technical stakeholders without inviting them to the repo.
Not a rendered docs site
drophost hosts the .md file. For a clickable docs site, zip HTML with index.html instead.
