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.

We are still in the progress of writing documentation for code and self-hosting providers.

Meanwhile keep sharing, and keep having fun.
