Posting this as an update for Buildspace Night & Weekend S5.
Update No. 1 -> Day 1(defining of Problem) & Day 2(working out the layout)

Problem

I constantly have the need to move files around my various number of machines. I often use cloud but as my accounts have 2FA, its takes a bit of time to login. Hence when in hurry, I often to the file transfer websites available on the web. The problem is, they have a complex way of generating there URL and hence, I have to login to my whats-app, share the link, and then download it. It beats the purpose of requiring less time.

Hence, I am building a file sharing app in which you can decide your URL and is completely secure.

How it works

Enter the Domain followed by any text you like domain.com/{your-personalized-text}
If the link doesn’t exist, you can create a pin to later access the URL securely.
If the link exist, you are required to enter the pin. Hence if you haven’t claimed the site, you should enter a different URL
Post your files → access the same URL from another device(which shouldn’t be a problem since you set the URL yourself) → download the file on the other device
If no device is connected to the URL, it automatically resets. Hence getting available for a new users use.
