• 🔑 Unique Encryption Keys: A unique AES key is generated for every file upload.
• 📱 Responsive UI: A modern, sleek dashboard designed for all devices.
• 🛡️ Secure Authentication: Protected access with user authentication.
• ⚡ Real-time Updates: Instant feedback on upload progress and file availability.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Frontend: React.js
• Backend/Storage: Firebase Storage
• Encryption: CryptoJS
• Styling: Vanilla CSS3 with Modern Flexbox/Grid
• Icons: FontAwesome / Material Icons

⚙️ Installation & Setup

Follow these steps to get your local development environment running:

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Adarsh09675/Secured-File-Storage-System.git
cd Secured-File-Storage-System

2. Install Dependencies

npm install

3. Configure Firebase

The project comes pre-configured with a Firebase instance. To use your own:

1. Create a project on the Firebase Console.
2. Enable Storage.
3. Copy your configuration and update it in src/firebase.js.

4. Run the Application

npm start

The application will be available at http://localhost:3000.

📖 Usage Guide

1. Login: Use the default credentials:
   • Username: aryaman
   • Password: 123
2. Upload: Select a file from your computer and click "Upload Securely".
3. Encryption: The system will automatically generate a random AES key, encrypt the file content, and store it in Firebase.
4. Access: View your securely stored files in the dashboard grid.

🔒 Security Overview (AES-256)

SecureDrive uses a "Security-First" approach:

• Client-Side Encryption: Unlike standard cloud storage, SecureDrive encrypts files on the user's browser.
• Data Privacy: Since the file is encrypted before upload, even the storage provider (Firebase) cannot read the content without the AES key.
• AES-256: Uses the Advanced Encryption Standard, trusted by governments and security experts worldwide.
