About DeltaShare

DeltaShare is a cross-platform multi-user file sharing software to exchange files seamlessly between Android and Windows. The software includes offline pooling through a local network for efficient file sharing.

Why DeltaShare?

Have you ever faced a situation where your team needed to share files among yourselves and you guys ended up sharing the same file again and again?

DeltaShare was born out of this very challenge. With DeltaShare, multiple users can connect simultaneously and share files at the same time, across Android and Windows devices, in offline scenario. The software is built for students, professionals, travelers to ensure seamless collaboration.

Key Features

• Seamless offline file sharing over local networks.
• Real-time multi-user support for simultaneous file transfers.
• Cross-platform compatibility across Android and Windows devices.

Software Architecture

In our project, we followed MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architectural pattern that separates an application's data logic, presentation, and user interface into three distinct components: the Model, View, and ViewModel. This separation promotes code organization, maintainability, and testability. By binding the ViewModel to the UI, we achieved a dynamic and responsive user experience, which was crucial for a real-time file-sharing application. This structure greatly helped us maintain cleaner code and adapt quickly to changes throughout the development process.

Tech Stack

By leveraging .NET MAUI (a cross-platform framework) we developed a native mobile and desktop applications using C# and XAML.
