# Simple filesharing webapp

I made this app as a convenient and fast way to transfer files from and between my smartphone and my desktop PC using a web browser. In the past, I found it hard to move files especially pictures since my smartphone uses IOS while my PC uses Windows. I often times used messenging platforms such as Telegram and Discord to do this but I find that it has some caveats such as file size limits, dumping a lot files in my message history which I won't realistically need in the future, and file restrictions.

## Architecture

1. `nodejs`

2. `express`

3. `multer`

4. `ejs`

5. `nodemon`

## Contributing

I am still learning using Git and Github, I will update this repo as soon as I have learned and set up the contributing process.

## Running the site

I envisioned the app to only run locally when needed so in order to actually transfer files, the two devices in question must be connected to the same local network

```

gh repo clone reddiedev/file-sharing-nodejs

npm install

npm start

```
