This project is an Android file manager and cloud synchronization client designed to browse, manage, and organize documents and folders stored on a remote server. It functions as a WebDAV cloud storage client that mirrors folders between a mobile device and a personal cloud storage server.
The application provides a mobile interface for remote file synchronization and distribution, allowing users to share files and folders with others. It ensures secure mobile data access by utilizing passcodes and biometric authentication to prevent unauthorized entry.
The client integrates WebDAV and REST-based APIs for file transfers and metadata synchronization. It employs OAuth2 for authentication and uses local-cache indexing and asynchronous background synchronization to handle data transfers without blocking the user interface.
