This app allows you to send files across your different devices easily without the hustle of using file sharing platforms.

The App uses direct TCP connections between devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network. It allows scanning for devices that are sharing files, as well as manually entering the IP Address of remote devices that you want to send/receive files from.

This App is mainly intended for IT Professionals, can be used by regular users as well though.

To share files with other devices, check out the python companion app https://github.com/leolion3/Portfolio/tree/master/Python/FileSender

There will be a java equivalent with GUI later on, for now this app and the python one are all there is.
