The REC CONNECT Android app simplifies file sharing among devices by allowing users to exchange files via QR codes or IP addresses. The application was created in Android Studio, which is integrated with Firebase database for performing optimal storage and transfers. Its easy-to-use interface allows users to generate QR codes or enter recipient IP addresses. This adaptability accommodates to a wide range of user preferences and configurations. Receivers initiate quick file transfers by scanning the sender's QR code or utilizing IP addresses, ensuring cross-platform interoperability. The app's functionality is supported by Firebase integration to ensure secure file storage and transfer. The real-time database handles metadata, while Firebase storage safeguards the actual file data. REC CONNECT holds the potential for expansion, with prospects like robust file management, varied format compatibility, and cloud integration. The app's reliability and privacy-concerned design address the data security concerns. The developed REC CONNECT application reshapes file sharing and increases the efficiency, and security.
