FileDrop - Simple File Sharing Server

FileDrop is a simple server that allows users on the same local network to easily upload and download files through a web interface. It also generates a QR code for quick access to the server URL from any device on the same network.

Key Features:

• File Sharing: Upload and download files through a simple web interface.
• QR Code Generation: Dynamically generates a QR code for easy access to the server.
• Local Network Only: Works across multiple devices connected to the same local network.
• Cross-Platform: Use on any device that supports Python (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS via A-Shell mini, etc.)

Requirements:

• Python 3.x

• Install via pip:

  pip install filedrop
  

  This will install all required dependencies, including the qrcode library for QR code generation.

Usage on iOS (A-Shell Mini):

1. Install A-Shell Mini: Install A-Shell Mini or A-Shell from the App Store.

2. Install the Python Package:

   • Open A-Shell or A-Shell Mini.
   • Install FileDrop by running:

     pip install filedrop
     

3. Run the Server:

   • After installation, run the server with:

     python3 -m filedrop
     

4. Access the Server: Open Safari on your iOS device and go to http://localhost:8000.

5. Optional: Create a Shortcut:

   • You can create a shortcut in the Shortcuts app to automatically run the server and open the browser.
   • I may provide a shortcut for automatic setup in future updates.

How it Works:

• Once the server is running, you can access the web interface at http://localhost:8000.
• You can upload files through the web interface.
• Files are stored in a shared directory, and anyone on the same local network can download them.
• The server generates a QR code that you can scan to easily open the server's web interface on another device.

Important Notes:

• Local Network: All devices must be connected to the same local network.
• Recommendation: Use a 5G network for faster file transfers between devices.

Troubleshooting:

• Ensure that all devices are connected to the same local network for proper communication.

Future Updates:

• I plan to work on a shortcut to automatically download the bundled server and open it when the app is launched. Stay tuned for more features!

Feel free to use this simple file-sharing server as needed. Enjoy sharing files easily across your local network!
