File-Sharer Program

Overview

The File-Sharer program allows you to share files over your local network using an HTTP server. The program generates a QR code that can be scanned by others to access the shared folder via a web browser. It's a simple and easy way to share files without using external cloud services.

Features 🚀

• Share files and folders over a local network.
• Generate a QR code for easy access.
• Simple and user-friendly interface using Tkinter.
• View the shared folder's content in a web browser.

5. http.server: For serving the selected folder through a simple HTTP server (included in Python's standard library).
