Dumb Drop

A stupid 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
• Dark Mode toggle
• Configurable file size limits
• Drag and Drop Directory Support (Maintains file structure in upload)

Future Features

• Camera Upload for Mobile
• Enhanced Progress Features (upload speed display, time remaining estimation)

3. Start the server:

npm start
