An intelligent file management system with automatic duplicate detection using SHA-256 hashing. Even if you rename a file, the system knows it's a duplicate!
fileguard.mp4
Many businesses suffer from duplicated file uploads, which leads to:
- Wasted storage
- Increased costs
- Data inconsistency
FileGuard detects duplicate files using SHA-256 hashing, ensuring that even if a file is renamed, it won't be uploaded twice.
- Saves storage costs
- Improves data integrity
- Prevents human errors during uploads
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 📁 Folder Management | Full CRUD operations for organizing files |
| 📄 File Management | Upload, view |
| 🔍 Smart Duplicate Detection | Detects duplicates even with different filenames and different folder |
| 📊 Analytics Dashboard | Real-time statistics and file distribution insights |
| 🛡️ Upload Attempts Log | Tracks all rejected duplicate attempts |
| ⚡ Client-Side Hashing | Early duplicate detection before server upload |
| 🎨 Modern UI | Clean, responsive interface with RTL support |
You have 1000+ files. Some are duplicates with different names:
Report_Final.pdfReport_Final_Copy.pdfReport_Final_Final.pdf
Same content, different names = Wasted storage
SHA-256 Hash Fingerprinting
File A: "Report_Final.pdf" → SHA-256 → "a3f5b2c8d9e1..."
File B: "Report_Copy.pdf" → SHA-256 → "a3f5b2c8d9e1..."
Even if the filename changes, the hash stays identical for identical content.
