EasyFileShare

EasyFileShare is a lightweight Python web application hosted on Google Compute Engine that simplifies remote file sharing without the need for user accounts. Leveraging the flexibility and simplicity of Flask, EasyFileShare provides a seamless and secure file-sharing experience.

Features

  • User-Friendly File Sharing: Easily upload files all format max_file_size = 100 * 1024 * 1024 and receive unique, shareable links instantly. No user accounts required.

  • Upload Limit: Each device is limited to a total upload of 1GB, ensuring fair usage and efficient resource management.

  • Secure Storage: Utilizes Google Cloud Storage for robust and secure file storage, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of shared files.

  • Browser Caching: Seamless user experience with browser caching, allowing users to maintain session-like access to the application without the need for account creation.

  • File Management: Users can effortlessly delete files and generate new shareable links through a straightforward interface.

  • Source/Preview Raw Files: Explore the content of raw files easily by appending ?raw=true to the file's URL(currently image support only). This feature allows users to preview the raw data directly in their browsers/webpage/request, enhancing the overall accessibility and usability of shared files.

Technology Stack

  • Python (Flask): The backend of EasyFileShare is powered by Flask, providing a flexible and easy-to-maintain codebase.

  • Google Compute Engine: Hosted on Google Compute Engine for flexible and scalable application hosting.

  • Google Cloud Storage: Leverages Google Cloud Storage for secure, scalable, and cost-effective file storage.

Storage and User Recognition

EasyFileShare operates without a traditional database. Instead, it relies on Google Cloud Storage for storing user files securely. Additionally, the application uses cookies to recognize users in their browsers, providing a convenient and personalized experience.

Security

EasyFileShare prioritizes security to ensure user data and files are protected:

  • Secure File Transmission: Files are transmitted securely over HTTPS to safeguard data during upload and download.

  • Google Cloud Storage Security: The use of Google Cloud Storage ensures industry-standard security measures for data at rest.

  • No User Accounts: The absence of user accounts eliminates the risk associated with managing user credentials, enhancing overall system security.

Automatic File Deletion

To optimize storage usage, EasyFileShare automatically deletes files after 3 days. This ensures efficient resource management and aligns with our commitment to providing a clean and clutter-free environment for users.
