# Deploy with Vercel Drop without an account By Steven Van · 2026-10-19 Drop a file, folder or ZIP to get a live URL that lasts one hour, then claim it with a free account to keep the static site online. Static sites can now be deployed with [Vercel]() Drop without an account. Dragging a file, folder or ZIP archive onto the page returns a live URL, as [announced]() in the Vercel changelog. ## How an account-free deploy works Go to vercel.com/drop and drop a file, folder or .zip onto the page, or choose one to upload. Vercel deploys it right away. The deployment is temporary, and the success page shows a countdown until it expires. Deployments made without an account expire after **one hour**. To keep the site live, select *Claim your project* and create a free account before the countdown ends. If a deployment does expire, you can sign up and drop the files again. ## Limits without an account - Only static sites can be dropped. A framework project asks you to sign up first. - Each file can be up to 100 MB, and the whole drop up to 1 GB. Going over the anonymous limits also prompts a sign-up. - Dropping onto an existing project requires an account. ## With an account Signed-in users can deploy static sites and framework projects, which Vercel detects and builds. You choose a team and project name, and Vercel publishes straight to production. Dropped projects have no Git connection, so pushes do not trigger deployments unless a repository is connected afterward. ![Vercel]() Vercel The platform for frontend developers — deploy, preview, and scale web apps and AI agents with zero config.
