Current features

    For instance you can transfer files between Android and Windows
  • Transfer multiple files
    You can pick any number of files.
  • Share raw text
    You can share raw text between devices. Store raw text as txt file or copy to clipboard.
  • Smooth UI
    Material You design.
  • Works between the devices connected via mobile-hotspot / between the devices connected to same router (same local area network)
  • Uses cryptographically secure secret code generation for authentication (internally).
    Even though the files are streamed at local area network,files cannot be downloaded/received without using Photon. No external client like browser can get the files using url,as secret code is associated with url. It will be regenerated for every session.
  • Supports high-speed data transfer
    Photon is capable of transferring files at a very high rate but it depends upon the wifi bandwidth. (No internet connection required)

FAQ / Notes:

  • File transfer location: Now you can edit file saving location. By default files will be stored at internal_storage/Download/Photon directory. image
  • If you run the program with flutter run and if you see a blank application window instead of the UI, try running flutter run --enable-software-rendering instead.
