01 / THE CONTRIBUTION

My part in the project.

Repository owner, with an Express file server and browser interface available for inspection.

02 / INSIDE THE BUILD

The choices underneath.

  1. Use a QR entry point to reduce address typing when moving between devices.

  2. Keep uploads and downloads on a small local server using Express and Multer.

  3. Expose file management through a browser so a separate client app is unnecessary.

03 / STATUS & LIMITS

Where it stands.

  • Devices need to share a reachable local network and the Node host must remain running.
  • Password handling and deletion permissions remain prototype features; encrypted transport is not implemented.

04 / KEEP EXPLORING

Read it at the source.

Explore the code and follow the latest state of the project in its repository.
