Photon is a cross-platform file-transfer application built using flutter. It uses http to transfer files between devices.You can transfer files between devices that run Photon.(No wifi router is required ,you can use hotspot)

• Cross-platform support
  For instance you can transfer files between Android and Windows

• Transfer multiple files
  You can pick any number of files.

• Pick files faster
  Most of the apps use file_picker for picking the files. But for android it caches files before retrieving the paths. If the file size is large it will result in considerable amount of delay. So I have tweaked file_picker to avoid caching(android) unless it is required (some files need to be cached). No matter how many files are selected ,paths will be retrieved within no time. (Note:Caching issue is android specific)

• Smooth UI
  Material You design.

• Works between the devices connected via mobile-hotspot / between the devices connected to same router (same local area network)

• Uses cryptographically secure secret code generation for authentication (internally )
  Even though the files are streamed at local area network,files cannot be downloaded/received without using Photon. No external client like browser can get the files using url,as secret code is associated with url. It will be regenerated for every session.

• Supports high-speed data transfer
  Photon is capable of transferring files at a very high rate but it depends upon the wifi bandwidth. (No internet connection required)

• Android

• Windows

• Linux

  • Coming soon

• iOS

  • Coming soon

• macOS

  • Coming soon

The source code doesn't have any platform specific dependencies.But I don't have machines to test app on Linux,iOS and macOS ,if you have the respective machine you can build and test it out.

flutter pub get packages
flutter run
