Vercel Drop deploys files and folders via browser drag-and-drop

Vercel Drop is a new deployment feature accessible at `vercel.com/drop` that removes the need for Git, the Vercel CLI, or any local environment configuration. Users drag a file or folder into the browser, select a team and project name, and click Deploy; Vercel then creates a new project, uploads the files, and publishes them to production with a shareable live URL — all described as taking a matter of seconds.

For framework projects, Vercel automatically detects the framework (Next.js is cited as an example) and runs the appropriate build.

The feature supports two deployment modes. For framework projects, Vercel automatically detects the framework (Next.js is cited as an example) and runs the appropriate build. For static sites — including those with no recognized framework — files are deployed as-is with no build step. Exports from Bolt.new, Claude Design, and Google Stitch are called out as compatible. If the dropped folder contains no `index.html` at the top level, the user is prompted to choose which page loads at the site's root.

Each drop creates a new project. For teams that want automatic deployments on every subsequent push, the post notes that a Git repository can be connected to the project after the initial drop.
