What problem did DropIT solve? 🤔 I'll share one of my experiences here. I was in a situation where I needed to share a small file with 20 computers from my phone within 5 minutes. All the computers had an internet connection, but no file-sharing options were available, and I didn't have any cables with me. I had two options: first, log in to my email on all systems and send the file via email (which is not possible in 5 minutes), or second, upload it to Google Drive and download it on each system (but Drive links are too complex to type manually on all systems). That's why I couldn't complete the task. If DropIT was available, what would I do? 💡 If DropIT was available, I would upload my file to DropIT, set the usage limit to 20, and then get the code for that file. The code would be simple and memorable, like A-956233. Then I could go to each system, type in this code, and boom 💥, the file would be downloaded.

Love the simplicity. I wonder about the security; how do you prevent users from downloading someone else's files?

@henryk_oz There is ip based limits for preventing brute force attacks, if someone tried to find the code for others they will get ratelimited. The file will be deleted if the file is downloaded for the given number of times, and the files have a expiration of 10 days, after which the file will be deleted (regardless of if it is used or not). This reduces the chance of a file being used by others.

Hi, How do you ensure the security of the files shared on DropIT? Are there any size limitations for the files we can share? Congrats on the launch, Aswanth!

@kyrylosilin Files on DropIT are stored encrypted and buffered. We also implement IP-based usage limits to prevent brute force attacks on file codes. Additionally, all files will be automatically deleted after 10 days. Currently, there is a 50MB limit for file uploads, but we plan to increase this soon.. 🚀
