Creation of an Android App That Replaces Shareit and Xender with a Wireless File sharing Tool

Abstract

As we all watch in the news, the Government of India recently blocked the services of apps from the Play Store and restricted the availability of more than 59 to 60 apps due to security and privacy concerns. Apart from that, ShareIT and Xender, two file sharing applications, are more widely used. Even though the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has blocked these apps' URLs and their cloud services are also down or blocked, the apps' local sharing and management features will still work if they are installed before their devices are banned. The global use of millions of mobile devices has increased the rate of information sharing at an unprecedented rate. Endless gadgets are imparting data to one another through administrations, for example, distributed storage, neighborhood, and client servers. Many of the current applications for p2p file sharing are cumbersome and necessitate the presence of both devices during setup to send files. P2P technologies typically necessitate a lengthy handshaking procedure in which both devices must initiate the connection and begin sending. This takes time and requires users and their devices to be present. Additionally, numerous applications necessitate a lengthy confirmation process for each file. Moreover, latest applications for p2p document sending come up short on type of underlying security and empower one to send records to anybody in nearness. This could prompt records being shipped off some unacceptable individuals or empowering undesirable documents to be gotten coincidentally. Mobile data, on the other hand, is a cost of wireless services. The capacity to send records without causing costs is hence overwhelmingly popular. The majority of approaches either lack security or are difficult to set up and use. The goal of the study was to investigate peer-to-peer file sharing technologies in order to find a means of reducing the amount of time required to manage file sending while simultaneously raising the application's minimum security level.
