Dumb Drop

A stupidly simple file upload application that provides a clean, modern interface for dragging and dropping files. Built with Node.js and vanilla JavaScript.

No auth, no storage, no nothing. Just a simple file uploader to drop dumb files into a dumb folder.

Features

• Drag and drop file uploads
• Multiple file selection
• Clean, responsive UI
• File size display
• Docker support
• Configurable file size limits

Future Features

• Camera Upload for Mobile
• Dark Mode toggle
• Enhanced Progress Features (upload speed display, time remaining estimation)
• Drag and Drop Directory Support (Maintain file structure in upload)

Quick Start

Running Locally

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Set environment variables in .env:

PORT=3000                  # Port to run the server on
MAX_FILE_SIZE=1024         # Maximum file size in MB (default: 1024 MB / 1 GB)

3. Start the server:

npm start

Running with Docker

Pull from Docker Hub

# Pull the image
