Netlify Drop alternative · Updated 2026-09-14 · Demox team
When is Demox an alternative to Netlify Drop?
Direct answer: Netlify Drop is a way to drag a folder onto the web and get a URL. Demox covers that job for HTML, ZIP, and dist folders, and it also has CLI and MCP so an AI agent can deploy. Demox is not a full Netlify replacement. It does not claim Netlify's identity, Git integration, or platform-wide CI. Use Demox when you already have static files and need a link now. Keep Netlify when you want that complete product. Python and Express listen apps still need another host.
How to do it
- Step 1. If you only have a folder of static files, upload it to Demox or run demox deploy.
- Step 2. If an AI agent should deploy, use the MCP server.
- Step 3. If you need Netlify's full CI and identity stack, stay on Netlify.
- Step 4. Read /when-to-use-demox before migrating an existing app.
FAQ
Is this a drop-in Netlify clone?
No. It is a fast public link for static files and small Node handlers.
Can I drag a ZIP?
Yes. The ZIP root must contain index.html.
什么时候用 Demox 代替拖拽发布？
手里已经有静态目录、只想马上发链接时，可以用 Demox。它不是完整 Netlify。Git 集成和整套 CI 请留在原平台。
按这个顺序做
- 01 如果只有静态文件目录，上传到 Demox 或执行 demox deploy。
- 02 如果要让 AI 助手发布，用 MCP。
- 03 如果需要 Netlify 的完整 CI 和身份体系，留在 Netlify。
- 04 迁移已有应用前先看 /when-to-use-demox。
常见问题
这是可以原样替换的 Netlify 吗？
不是。它适合给静态文件和小 Node handler 一个马上能打开的链接。
能拖 ZIP 吗？
可以。ZIP 根目录必须有 index.html。
