# DropIT

DropIT is a fast and simple file-sharing platform. Share files without an account using a memorable code, ensuring easy and quick transfers across the internet.

## About the project

DropIT is a file sharing platform that makes file sharing across the internet simple and fast. With DropIT, you donโ€™t need an account to share a file of any type, and you can share it with anyone using a simple, memorable code similar to an OTP.

What problem did DropIT solve? ๐Ÿค”

Iโ€™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 didnโ€™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). Thatโ€™s why I couldnโ€™t complete the task.

If DropIT was available, what would I do? ๐Ÿ’ก

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 ๐Ÿ’ฅ, the file would be downloaded.
