My Transfer is a web application that allows you to easily share files across your devices. Whether you want to send a photo to a friend or transfer important documents between your devices, My Transfer makes it quick and easy to do so.
Site is deployed using Vercel: My-Transfer
To use My Transfer, simply drag and drop a file onto the app or click on the upload button to select a file. Once the file is uploaded, you will receive a unique link that you can share with anyone you want to share the file with. The link is valid for 24 hours, after which the file will be automatically deleted.
The app is PWA enabled, which means you can install it on your device and use it as a native app. This is especially useful on mobile devices, where you can add the app to your home screen and use it as a standalone app.

As of now, the app has a file size limit of 100MB due to free tier limitations. The Storage Bucket only supports Firebase spark tier, which has a limit of 5GB of storage and 1GB of upload per day. This means that the app can only handle a limited amount of users and files.
