Week 6 project for SEI 34, General Assembly Sydney

Live Site - hosted on Heroku

Summary

I have created a drop-box lite style file upload, storage, sharing and download site; which also includes live chat between users.

Primary functions:

  • File upload to server storage
  • File sorting into folders, and display of files & folder structure
  • Sharing of folders and all contained files between users
  • Messaging between users
  • Live update of sent and received messages while both in the page
  • Notification of folder change or message received when on a different page, so cannot witness change

Major challenges:

  • File and folder table structure to allow for sharing and storage simply
  • Action Cable (Web Sockets) to allow for messaging to logged-in users if a particular event occurs. This allows me to show a new-message notification for example.

Current bugs:

  • Messages multi-send sometimes on Heroku

  • Select field in Dropdown list on Uploads page (for file New and file Edit) doesn't work in Chrome

  • Table Design
