# Dropit - Simple Cross-Platform File Sharing
Below image for legacy <= v0.1.5 ( 0.1.6 is a bug should be skipped)
## Introduction
Dropit simplifies the process of sharing files across multiple devices, including laptops and mobile phones, regardless of their operating system. Whether you're a developer working with multiple OS environments, or simply need to transfer files between devices, Dropit offers a straightforward solution.
## Key Features
- **Cross-Platform Compatibility**: Share files seamlessly between any devices on the same network.
- **Easy to Use**: Just a single command is needed to start sharing files.
- **Optional Password Protection**: Enhance security with an optional password.
## How to Use
To share files with Dropit, simply run the following command in your terminal:
```bash
dropit [--password <password>] [--geturl] [--getqr] [--maxsize <integer>]
```
*Options*
```
--password: <password>: Secures your file sharing session with basic authentication.
--geturl: Prints the URL to access Dropit from the other devices.
--getqr: Displays a QR code in the terminal, which can be scanned to connect to Dropit.
--maxsize <size_in_GB>: Sets a maximum file size for uploads (default is 2GB).
```
**NOTE**: The default username is `admin`
*Accessing Dropit:*
Open a web browser on any device connected to the same network and enter the URL displayed in the terminal. If a password is set, you will be prompted to enter it.
### Additional Sections
#### Configuration Options
Detail other configuration settings if available, such as changing the default upload folder.
## Troubleshooting
- **Connection Issues**: Ensure all devices are on the same network. Check firewall settings if devices cannot connect to the server.
- **Performance Issues**: For large file transfers, ensure the server machine has sufficient resources. Consider increasing the system limits if uploads fail due to file size.
- **Mobile Device Compatibility**: Some mobile devices might experience difficulties accessing `http` URLs.
