DScan: Decentralized QR code generator chrome extension | Use Web3 for File Sharing

This content originally appeared on DEV Community and was authored by Akhilesh Thite

Introduction

DScan is a chrome extension that uploads the content to IPFS and generates decentralized QR codes. It is compatible with chromium-based browsers.

One of the most significant benefits of decentralization is the transformation towards being able to access the data from anywhere and is mainly driven by the heavy usage of smartphone and cloud applications. The vision is to ensure the user can have access to information as much as possible from anywhere in the world.

Benefits

DScan allows you to quickly upload images, audio, video, and any type of files (including NFTs and static websites) to IPFS and get a QR code with IPFS CID and hosted Infura link. Later you can share the QR code or Infura link with everyone.

✅ Decentralized
✅ No upload limits
✅ Permanent storage
✅ No compression (original quality)
✅ Private
✅ User friendly

Note: Large-size files may take a longer time to upload (we're working on this).

Use

Step 1: Install the extension from Chrome web store.

Step 2: Click on the "upload file" button and select the file that you want to upload.

Step 3: It'll show generated QR code, IPFS CID, and infura link.

• You can download the generated QR code and then, it's ready for scanning!
  

• You also have an option to copy the Infura URL.
  

Working

Future goals

• We're working on adding support to text and multiple directory uploads.
• In future extension updates, we're planning for major UI improvements such as button loader, QR code download button, etc.

Want to contribute?

We highly encourage you to add new features and fix bugs. Here are some issues to get started.
