FileDrop

This is a simple web application built using Flask that allows users to upload files to the server. The uploaded files are stored in a secure manner, and users are provided with a download link to access their uploaded files.

Features

Drag and drop file upload support
Upload progress tracking
Secure filename generation
Download link for uploaded files

Prerequisites

Before running this application, ensure you have the following installed:

Python 3.x
Flask

Installation

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/file-upload-app.git
cd file-upload-app

Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate    # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the Flask application:

python app.py

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000/.
Drag and drop a file onto the drop area or click on the drop area to select a file using the file input.
The upload progress will be displayed, and once the file is uploaded successfully, you will see a success message with the filename and a download link.

Configuration

By default, the uploaded files are stored in the uploads/ folder within the application directory. You can change this by modifying the UPLOAD_FOLDER variable in app.py:

app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'] = 'your_custom_upload_folder/'

Notes

This application is intended for educational purposes and may not be suitable for production environments without further security considerations.
Ensure that the server has sufficient permissions to write to the UPLOAD_FOLDER directory.
