File-Sharing

A file sharing website in which the user can upload files and provide a password to generate a link that can be sent to others. Accessing the link will initiate download of the file or ask for the password if the file is protected.

I created this project to strengthen and practice my backend development skills. I was able to see the server side perspective of clients uploading and downloading files. I had the opportunity to work on my front end development skills too, all the design and user interface is created entirely by me.
