Getting 404 error after uploading simple index.html

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to deploy a simple HTML game I created. I’m using Netlify Drop to upload my project, and I’ve made sure to follow the usual requirements:

  • The file is named index.html
  • It’s placed at the root of the ZIP file (no folders inside)
  • I’ve tested it locally in the browser and it works fine
  • The ZIP file contains only the index.html (no images, CSS or JS dependencies)
  • After upload, Netlify gives me a link https://continuitymasters.netlify.app/, but visiting that URL always shows a 404 Not Found

I also tried uploading just the raw index.html file (not zipped), but still get the same result.

Is there something I’m missing? Is this a caching issue or a problem with how Netlify Drop expects files to be structured?

Thanks in advance for any help or tips!

@Bram_Peddemors I presume you’ve moved the site, the error I see is “Site Not Found”.

Use the Deploy File Browser to see what files you’ve uploaded:

Once you see what’s there, you’ll probably know what you need to change to fix it.
