TechShare

TechShare is a Windows application that allows you and your friends to share files without using external file servers, like Google Drive.

How does it work?

TechShare either:

  • Creates a socket server on port 8081 and then listens for any clients requesting a file.
  • Creates a socket client that can request a TechShare server a file.

Advantages of directly sending files

  • Unlimited File Sizes (as long as the sender and receiver have enough space to fit the file)
  • Much Faster Download Speeds
  • No uploading delay (your pc acts like the file server)

Disadvantages of directly sending files

  • Have to start the app every time you need to send files (or leave the app open 24/7 which is NOT RECOMMENDED)
  • Have to share your IP with the receiver (except if you use playit.gg)

To Do:

  • Make v1.0 (make it functional)
  • Built-in playit.gg support
  • Easier to use
  • UI interface (not sure)
  • Remote Control of File Server (from other computers, phones)
