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. - Share raw text
You can share raw text between devices. Store raw text as txt file or copy to clipboard. - 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)
