📂 Go Drop

Go Drop is a fast and simple file-sharing server you can run on your local machine. Once running, anyone connected to the same Wi-Fi or local network can upload, view, and download files through their browser.

⚠️ Internet is not required — everything happens locally.

Features

• Upload files up to 100MB
• Shareable URLs for every file (e.g. http://192.168.x.x:8080/shared/myfile.png)
• List of all uploaded files with metadata (name, size, timestamp)
• Delete files
• Download via direct links
• CORS enabled
• Auto-sanitized filenames
• Automatically shows your local IP address on startup

Getting Started

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/davidumoru/go-drop
   cd go-drop

2. Build the binary:

   go build -o go-drop

3. Run the server:

   ./go-drop

4. Access on local machine:

   http://localhost:8080
   

   Access on other devices (same Wi-Fi):

   http://192.168.X.X:8080
   

Folder Structure

go-drop/
├── main.go              // Core server logic
├── public/              // Frontend assets (index.html)
├── shared/              // Uploaded files are stored here

Example Use Case

• A teacher runs Go Drop on their laptop and students connect to http://192.168.0.105:8080 to download assignments.
• You want to send a file from your PC to your phone with no cables or apps.
• Quickly pass files between laptops during a hackathon or office collab.

Security Notes

• Only accessible within your LAN (local area network)
• No authentication — anyone on the same network can access
• You can run it behind a firewall or add basic auth if needed (future feature idea)

Future Improvements (TODOs)

• Password protection or token-based access
• File size configuration via flags
• Auto-deletion after X hours
• File previews (image/audio/video)
