BubbleShare

_Project for HackUTD 2018. _

File sharing, simplified.

AirDrop for Mac is platform-specific. Dropbox is too heavy for many use cases. Sometimes, you simply want to quickly share a few files at a meeting or in a study group. Enter BubbleShare. We bring you the simplicity of AirDrop without the overhead of Dropbox. Share files between platforms without creating an account.

How it works:

Al opens the app.
Al clicks the 'Create a Space', giving him a new Space to work in. The code for the Space is displayed on screen.
Al shares this code with his colleagues, who open the app and click 'Join a Space', entering Al's code.
Al and his buddies now have access to a shared space. Al and his colleagues can drag and drop files from their computers onto the space, and any one of them can download any of those files.
All Al needs to do is stay in the space. Once he leaves, the space is closed automatically.

Problems We faced:

Whenever we receive and Initialize Communication we weren’t able to correctly exchange keys.
We had problems transmitting the encrypted file.
We also were trying to implement gun.js so we can verify if the file exists via gun but we couldn’t get the communication info from the gun.
