Support

Works on all devices. It's a website, not an app! Let us know if there is an issue.

Note: Some phone browsers (such as UC browser on Windows Phone) do not support selecting multiple files for upload at once; use browsers that do support it!

Setup

Getting started

• Create a virtual environment (Py3) and install all the dependencies mentioned in requirements.txt
• Activate the venv and run python3 server.py
• You can now access the said server from a phone by knowing the machine's inet address
• ifconfig or ipconfig will help you find the inet address

Advanced

• Set up port forwarding and make neccessary changes to your firewall settings
• If you have a static IP address you can simply bookmark the address to reach the server
• Consider signing up to a Dynamic DNS such as Duck DNS in case you don't have a static IP address
• Now you can access all your content from anywhere
