 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

We will explore the various methods, platforms, and technologies that enable us to send,
receive, and store files with ease. “Share Me” enables the seamless movement of digital
assets it documents, images, videos, or applications from one user or device to another.
It facilitates the transfer of knowledge, ideas, and creativity on a scale previously
unimaginable. It underpins the functioning of businesses, the enrichment of education,
and the preservation of cherished memories.

1.2 Objective of the project

The main objectives of a file sharing application can vary depending on the specific
goals and target audience of the application.

 Ease of use: The application should be easy to use for users of all skill levels.
 Flexibility: The application should support a wide range of file types and sizes.
 Scalability: The application should be able to scale to support a large number of
users and files.

1.3 Scope of project

The scope of a file sharing application is broad and varied. File sharing applications can
be used for a variety of purposes, including:

Collaboration: File sharing applications can be used to facilitate collaboration between

people who are working on the same project. For example, a group of students working
on a class assignment can use a file sharing application to share their files and work on
the project together, even if they are located in different parts of the world.

Education: File sharing applications can be used to distribute educational resources,

such as textbooks, articles, and videos. This can be especially helpful for students in
developing countries who do not have access to traditional libraries or media resources.

Medical image sharing: File sharing applications can be used to share medical images,
such as X-rays and MRIs, between doctors and patients. This can help doctors to
diagnose and treat patients more effectively.
Legal document sharing: File sharing applications can be used to share legal documents,
such as contracts and court filings, between lawyers and their clients. This can help to
streamline the legal process and make it more efficient.

 PROPOSED SYSTEM
2.1 Literature Survey

Following as our literature survey as compared to other applications.

Sr.No Application No of Remark

. Name
1 Xender
2 Share-it
Modules
5 Xender shows a lot of ads,
which can be annoying.
5 A security researcher found
a vulnerability in SHARE-
it that could allow attackers
to remotely install malware
on a device.

3 Bluetooth File 3 Slower transfer speeds for

Sharing larger files, and
compatibility issues
between different devices
and platforms.

4 Email 5 Limited attachment size in

Attachments emails, not suitable for very
large files, and files may
get lost in email clutter.

2.2 Existing System

Xender has the following modules:

 File transfer: Xender can transfer files of all types and sizes between devices,
including photos, videos, music, documents, and apps.

9
  Screen mirroring: Xender can mirror the screen of one device to another, so you
can play games, watch videos, or give presentations on a larger screen.
 Remote control: Xender can be used to remotely control another device, so you
can play music, change the volume, or even take screenshots.
 Group sharing: Xender allows you to share files with multiple devices at the
same time.
 File management: Xender can be used to manage files on your device, including
creating folders, deleting files, and moving files around.

Drawbacks:

 Ads: Xender shows a lot of ads, which can be annoying.

 Battery drain: Xender can drain your battery quickly, especially if you use it for
file transfers or screen mirroring.

2.3 Proposed System

Share Me is a Application which is created in Android application development
by using Java Where we used firebase as a database.

There are 5 modules in our project as follows:

User Authentication - This module handles user registration, login, and account
management. It ensures that only authorized users can access the app and share files

1) File Selection & Management - This module allows users to browse, select, and
manage files on their device. It includes features like file browsing, file selection,
renaming, and deleting.

2) File Upload & Download - This core module handles the actual file-sharing
functionality. It includes features for uploading files to a server and downloading files
from the server.

3) File Transfer Tracking - Implement features for tracking and displaying the progress
of file uploads and downloads. This module ensures that users can monitor the status of
their file transfers

4) Notification System - Use this module to notify users about the status of their file
10
transfers. For example, you can send notifications for completed transfers or when
errors occur.

5) File Transfer Process Tracking - Implement features for tracking and displaying the
progress of file uploads and downloads. This module ensures that users can monitor the
status of their file transfers.

2.4 Feasibility Study

 Platform Compatibility: Ensure the application supports a wide range of File Size
Handling: Android devices and versions without significant performance issues.
 Evaluate the capacity of the application to handle varying file sizes for smooth
transfer without system lags or crashes.
 Network Dependency: Assess the reliance on network connectivity (Wi-Fi,
mobile data) for file sharing and ensure functionalities work seamlessly across
different network conditions.

Conclusion:

Based on the feasibility study:

 The project seems technically viable, with considerations for platform

compatibility and network reliability.
 Economic viability requires a clear strategy for covering development and
maintenance costs.
 Operational aspects need to focus on user experience to ensure user acceptance.

File Upload & Download:

Verify file upload and download functionalities, ensuring successful transfer without
corruption or loss of data.

Module Integration: Test interactions between different modules to ensure seamless

communication and functionality.

Data Protection:
Ensure that user data remains secure during file transfers.

Authentication and Authorization:

Test the strength of user authentication methods and ensure users can access only their
designated files.

3.8 Future Scope

1. Future file sharing apps may become even more versatile, seamlessly allowing
users to share files across different platforms, including Android, iOS, Windows,
and macOS.
2. As processors and internet speeds continue to improve, file sharing applications
will be able to transfer files even faster and more efficiently. This will make it
easier for people to share large files, such as high-definition videos and photos.
3. Future apps may offer more efficient compression algorithms and methods to
share extremely large files, such as 4K videos and high-resolution 3D models.

CONCLUSION

4.1 Limitation & Conclusion

1) Device Compatibility: File sharing apps may not be compatible with all devices or
operating systems. This can be a limitation when sharing files with users who are not
using the same app or platform.
2) Corruption: In some cases, files shared through these apps may be lost or corrupted
during transmission. Robust error handling and checksum verification can help mitigate
this issue.
