Drops vs the old ways

You should not need a server config file to keep one page private.

Everything included

Protection without the plumbing

No server configs, no PHP plugins, no build pipelines to babysit.

Locks sites, pages & PDFs

Protect a whole site, a single page, a PDF, or a gallery — whatever needs to stay private.

Simple for visitors

One password field, one unlock. No accounts, no email verification, no friction between link and content.

Locked at the edge

The gate runs at the edge, so private content is not publicly reachable — not just hidden behind a button.

Rotate or remove anytime

Change the password or switch protection off instantly from the dashboard — no redeploys, no cache clearing.

Free SSL on every lock

Protected pages are served over HTTPS with free SSL, so the password never travels in plain text.

Keep the rest public

Lock only what needs locking. Your public portfolio stays indexed while client proofs and proposals stay private.

How it works

Three clicks from public to private

If you can publish, you can protect.

Publish your page

Upload the site, document, or gallery you want to lock at app.drops.sh.

Toggle protection on

Switch on password protection in the dashboard and set the password.

Share the key

Send the link and password together — to a client, a team, or your family.

Change it anytime

Rotate the password or remove the lock instantly, whenever you like.

Publish with your agent

Your favorite AI agent can publish to Drops

Drops speaks MCP — the standard way AI agents connect to tools. Connect Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or Gemini once, and any of them can build pages and publish them to your drops.sh site for you.

One key connects them all · you.drops.sh

1.Create an API key

Sign in at app.drops.sh/account and create a key. Think of it as a password just for your agent — you can revoke it anytime.

2.Connect your agent

In your agent’s settings, add Drops as a tool and paste your key. One-time setup, about a minute — we show you exactly what to copy.

3.Ask it to publish

'Upload this document to drops and turn on password protection for it.' Your agent builds the page, uploads it, and hands you a live link. No dashboard needed.

Try asking your agent

“Upload this document to drops and turn on password protection for it.”

Show the one-time setup snippet

Paste this into your agent’s MCP settings (Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and most tools), replacing the key with yours:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "drops": {
      "url": "https://api.drops.sh/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer drops_live_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }

FAQ

Password protection questions, answered

Everything people ask before locking their first page.

In one click in the dashboard, you turn on a password for any site or page. Visitors see a clean lock screen and enter the password to open it — no accounts, no cookies required, no plugins.

No. They just type the password. That is the whole point — you share the password, they read the page. No sign-up wall, no email verification, nothing that slows them down.

Drops handles the gate at the edge, so the locked content is not publicly reachable — the same job .htaccess did on shared hosting, minus the config file and the PHP plugin to maintain.

Yes. Lock an entire site, a single page, or a specific PDF or gallery. Keep your public portfolio live while keeping client deliverables locked in a client portal or secure data room.

Yes, instantly. Update the password or switch protection off in the dashboard and the change applies immediately — no redeploys, no cache to clear.

Yes. Password protection is a core feature — lock your pages on the free plan and upgrade only if you later want a custom domain or deeper analytics.
