this is a beautiful web app project that you can use for store, share and acess files any time from anywhere
i made this project for fun and also to challenge myself in learn more about reactjs
everything that happens is always in sync, if you add something, if someone change something, this app stays updated always
you can upload any files you want, share with someone instantly, or you can send the folders link to a friend
you can also create folders for organizing your files better
this project was developed with the following technologies:
all data is being consumed from an rest api written in node, you can check the repo here
every file you store here is deleted about every 30 minutes, so dont worry π
the api that storages all files is hosted on heroku, and heroku always erase everything when the app is restarted, thats why it happen
but if you use another host service for the api you can use this app without this prolem
to clone this repository and run this app, you'll need git and node.js installed on your computer.
i highly recommend yarn for handling node packages faster, but you can use npm if you want, no problem.
from your command line (using npm):
# clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/emkis/dropbox-clone.git
# go into the repository
$ cd dropbox-clone
# create a .env file based on the example and define the api url
# you can use the api that is used in production: https://dropbox-clone-back.herokuapp.com
$ cp .env.example .env
# install dependencies
$ npm install
# run the app in development mode
$ npm run start
