Currently, all or atleast majority of file upload and sharing services either show ads or have download speed limited at 1 MBps. With DoShare, we are aiming at increased download speed and no-bullsh*t file uploads. Each time you try to transfer file from PC to Mobile or another network a lot of things com in the way including file services asking your email id to send you a link. Why not simply let me upload and give me direct link? DoShare is built with S3,Flask(upload) and Preact(3kb react-alternatve library). So, you can even host your own service directly by entering S3 credentials. We are using Cloudflare's R2 r2.cloudflare.com - S3 Compatible for the hosted version. So here we are, Steps to use: [] Upload File [] Get Direct Link [] Share Link to Device (and voila download starts...except for mimetypes png,jpg,audio,video they get rendered in chrome: we're working on that.) Our hosted version is currently capped at 200MB sized files. But if you have bigger needs simply change it in flask upload server. And the best part is, we get to enjoy file sharing, again.

> all or atleast majority of file upload and sharing services either show ads or have download speed limited at 1 MBps That's just not true. filebin.net, send.vis.ee, pixeldrain.com, google drive (no ads or 1MBps limits afaik), filemail.com, gofile.io, filetransfer.io, sprend.com I can keep going, all of these also have higher file size limits than yours, and doesn't have your file type restrictions.

  Yeah, I won't argue with that. But these services file service also have: Long URLs when shared with public: Like: https://send.vis.ee/download/0f7ecfa933b6b2c0/#8UuLM3xXjsK6CjLgPSCkYA https://send.vis.ee/download/0f7ecfa933b6b2c0/#8UuLM3xXjsK6C... https://filebin.net/5e7fe89ii8v5kkrj https://filebin.net/5e7fe89ii8v5kkrj https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rlZfOJZG7M6lDNNW_x6qffcjFKscVbxF/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rlZfOJZG7M6lDNNW_x6qffcjFKs... Which doesn't exactly make it great to spellout, whenever I want to share it to someone near me. I would use Generate QR but then again that's an additional extra step for me and for, reciever. Rather than going to chrome/safari and directly using. Plus, all these service want you and reciever to come to their page so they can collect data from both sides sharer and reciever. They don't provide direct links easily. Some like GDrive, even would require a third party tool to get a direct link if you don't want to open browser and directly download in WSL or Any Linux Subsystem. Not to mention buggy UI in Google Drive app on Android, Limited downloads in FileTransfer(20) , Sprend(5). But any of the above problems can arise if you realy want to share file some amazing file to your friend and it turns out you're stuck at download speed or something. DoShareMe is built for reliablility, better UI, easy access, direct links and privacy all in one.
