As mesmas três coisas acontecem sempre, você faz o upload, recebe um endereço e a outra pessoa abre no navegador sem precisar de conta. O que muda é o objetivo. Estas páginas cobrem os usos reais das pessoas, incluindo os casos em que não somos a ferramenta certa.

Photos, events and people

Sets of images that have to open on somebody else's phone, with no app and no account, and, usually, an audience who will not tolerate a sign-in screen.

Websites and hosting

Static-site hosting is live: upload a ZIP and it goes live on its own subdomain with SSL. These four pages differ by what you are uploading.

Host a static websiteA ZIP of a multi-page site, live at its own address with automatic SSL.HTML hostingOne HTML page, live as a link, in about the time it takes to save the file.Host AI-generated HTMLA page made with Claude, ChatGPT, Lovable, v0 or Bolt, live as a link.Publish an HTML ZIPA zipped site with its assets, unpacked and served as real paths.Deploy a Vite or React buildYour dist folder online, with hashed assets and client-side routing that resolves.

Start from what you are holding. Each page covers what the browser preview does for that format, what the size ceilings mean, and where the format bites.

Não sabe qual página você precisa?

Comece pelo arquivo. Um PDF, um currículo ou um catálogo vai para PDF para link. Fotos vão para imagem para link. Uma pasta com arquivos variados vai para compartilhar arquivos online. Um site já construído vai para hospedar um site estático. Se você está nos comparando com algo que já paga, as páginas de comparação foram escritas para te convencer a não trocar quando trocar seria um erro.
