Application for storing files encrypted with AES.

Goal

Some files need to be stored in an encrypted format. While ZIP is convenient for this purpose, it has some drawbacks:

• It may be difficult to sync a large encrypted ZIP file with another storage.
• When a file is opened from a ZIP, the ZIP decrypts the entire file, saves it in the cache on disk, and then passes it to the default app for the file extension.
• It takes more and more time to add a file to an existing ZIP with a large size.

To address these issues, I have created this web-based application. It stores files encrypted with chunks and allows users to access them through a browser, eliminating the need for dealing with large ZIP files.

Info

• WARNING! This app is not safe for public use; it is intended for personal use on the computer where you run it. DO NOT open the app's port to the local or public network!
• WARNING! DO NOT delete the Meta/key file; it's the main key of the app. If you lose it, you cannot decrypt files!
• The application starts on port 8000.
• All magic constants are stored in constants.py.
• Run main.py from the project directory.
• All files are stored in the Content folder.
• On the first run, the application will prompt you to set a password. You will use this password to log in on subsequent times.

Requirements

• python >= 3.10 (Wasn't tested on python < 3.10)

Usage

pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py
