> Photon is a cross-platform file-transfer application built using flutter. It uses http to transfer files between devices.You can transfer files between devices that run Photon.(*No wifi router is required ,you can use hotspot*)
## Snapshots
## Current features
- **Cross-platform support**
For instance you can transfer files between Android and Windows
- **Transfer multiple files**
You can pick any number of files.
- **Share raw text**
You can share raw text between devices. Store raw text as txt file or copy to clipboard.
- **Smooth UI**
Material You design.
- **Works between the devices connected via mobile-hotspot / between the devices connected to same router (same local area network)**
- **Uses cryptographically secure secret code generation for authentication (internally).**
Even though the files are streamed at local area network,files cannot be downloaded/received without using Photon. No external client like browser can get the files using url,as secret code is associated with url. It will be regenerated for every session.
- **Supports high-speed data transfer**
Photon is capable of transferring files at a very high rate but it depends upon the wifi bandwidth.
(No internet connection required)

### FAQ / Notes:
- The **LICENSE** has been updated to GPL3 from MIT
- **File transfer location:** Now you can edit file saving location. By default files will be stored at internal_storage/Download/Photon directory.
- If you run the program with `flutter run` and **if you see a blank application window instead of the UI**, try running `flutter run --enable-software-rendering` instead.
