Photon is an open-source cross-platform file-transfer application built using flutter. It uses http to transfer files between devices. You can transfer files between devices that run Photon.(No wi-fi router is required ,you can use hotspot) Platforms - Android - [Windows](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fabhi16180%2Fphoton%2Freleases%2Fdownload%2Fv1.1.0%2Fphoton-windows-signed.v1.1.0.msix&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AOvVaw0aBH3eIgCuvVx6b9vOsABx) - [Linux](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fabhi16180%2Fphoton%2Freleases%2Fdownload%2Fv1.1.0%2FPhoton-Linux-Bundle-v1.1.0.zip&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AOvVaw3m2U-MGGymkxfU3QINaw_B) - [macOS](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fabhi16180%2Fphoton%2Freleases%2Fdownload%2Fv1.1.0%2Fphoton-macos-x86_64-v1.1.0.dmg&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AOvVaw3dBe02gBsT2xcWPmDlxk0C) *Current features* - Cross-platform support For instance you can transfer files between Android and Windows - Transfer multiple files You can pick any number of files. - Pick files faster Pick and share multiple files faster. - Smooth UI Material You design. - Open-source and ad free Photon is open-source and completely free without any ads. - Works between the devices connected via mobile-hotspot / between the devices connected to same router (same local area network)** - HTTPS and token based validation support on photon v3.0.0 and above - Supports high-speed data transfer Photon is capable of transferring files at a very high rate but it depends upon the wi-fi bandwidth. (No internet connection required) *Note: - 150mbps + speed is not a clickbait and its actually attainable with 5GHz wi-fi /hotspot. However if you are using 2.4GHz wi-fi/hotspot, it supports up-to 50-70mbps.* - Photon doesn't support HTTPS on versions older than v3.0.0. Older versions use random code generation on url for security which is still vulnerable to bruteforce attack. Use HTTPS when possible and use photon within trusted networks.
