Drag and drop file sharing for group projects
A real-time drag-and-drop file sharing app that allows users in a group to instantly send files to each other across devices without using email or external tools.
This project is a real-time peer-to-peer file sharing application designed to simplify collaboration within small groups. Instead of relying on traditional methods like email, cloud uploads, or messaging apps, users can directly share files by dragging and dropping them onto another user's device icon in a shared interface.
The system uses WebRTC to establish direct connections between devices, enabling fast and secure file transfers without storing data on a central server. A lightweight backend is used only for signaling and user presence, ensuring minimal latency and improved privacy.
The goal of this project is to create a seamless, intuitive experience where file sharing feels natural and requires minimal effort — especially in group work scenarios such as team projects, hackathons, or collaborative environments.
Key features include:
- Drag-and-drop file sharing
- Real-time device/user detection
- Peer-to-peer file transfer (no server storage)
- Cross-device compatibility
- Minimal clicks for maximum efficiency
This project aims to evolve into a full collaborative workspace tool where users can interact, share, and manage files effortlessly in real time.
