File Storing and Sharing System

This project is a file storing and sharing system built using Gradio for the front-end interface and MongoDB for the back-end database. The system allows users to upload files, which are then stored and managed within a specified directory. URLs for accessing these files are generated and stored in a MongoDB collection, making it easy to share and access the uploaded files.

Key Components

Gradio

Gradio is used to create the front-end interface, allowing users to interact with the file upload system through a simple and intuitive GUI.

MongoDB

MongoDB is used to store metadata about the uploaded files, specifically the URLs where these files can be accessed. This project connects to a MongoDB instance using credentials stored in environment variables for security.

Project Structure

Environment Variables

SECRET_KEY: Authetication Key to access data.
MONGO_USERNAME: MongoDB username.
MONGO_PASSWORD: MongoDB password.
REST_URI: MongoDB URI for connecting to the database.

How to Run

Set Environment Variables: Make sure to set the SECRET_KEY, MONGO_USERNAME, MONGO_PASSWORD, and REST_URI environment variables with your MongoDB credentials and URI.
Install Dependencies: Ensure you have gradio, pymongo, and other necessary packages installed.
Run the Application: Execute the script to start the Gradio interface and handle file uploads.

python your_script.py

Conclusion

This project provides a simple yet effective solution for file storing and sharing. By leveraging Gradio for the front-end and MongoDB for the back-end, it ensures a seamless experience for users to upload and manage their files with easy access through generated URLs.
