What's inside PolyUploader

  1. Overview of PolyUploader capabilities

    PolyUploader is a cross-platform, open-source tool (Windows, Linux, macOS) built with a Rust backend that allows users to upload files from local storage or via URL to up to 133 hosting sites simultaneously. Key features include:

    • API key integration for compatible hosts.
    • Upload profiles to automate frequent tasks.
    • Generation of a single sharing link to bundle multiple host links.
    • Integration with link protection services (e.g., PrivateBin, SafeLinking, Filecrypt) to secure upload links.
    • Detailed upload history with expiration status and deletion controls.
    • No account required for use.

  3. PolyUploader Project Architecture and Repositories

    PolyUploader is a file upload service that supports over a hundred hosts by utilizing a mix of official APIs, cURL-to-JavaScript conversions, and frontend request emulation. The project is split into two primary components: a website for documentation and a backend API for managing statistics, database operations, and unique shareable bundle links.
    Website (Documentation): https://github.com/spel987/PolyUploader-website
API (Stats, Bundles, DB): https://github.com/spel987/PolyUploader-API

  4. Understand PolyUploader telemetry and data collection

    PolyUploader collects minimal usage data (telemetry) to generate anonymous statistics. The system only collects host names and upload dates; it never collects full upload links. The API is open-source for transparency and can be reviewed on GitHub.

  5. Upload files and extract links using upload_to_host

    The upload_to_host function allows you to send a file to a file host, extract the download link from the server response, and optionally manage the manual deletion of the uploaded file.
    function upload_to_host(request_data, response_format, link_extraction = [], affix = [], manage_file = []) {
  // ...
}

  6. Backend technology stack for PolyUploader

    The PolyUploader backend is built using the following technologies: Rust for the core programming language, Tauri for the application framework, and warp-cors for handling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) in the warp web server.
    - Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org
- Tauri: https://tauri.app/
- warp-cors: https://github.com/Bassetts/warp-cors

  7. Frontend technology stack for PolyUploader

    The PolyUploader frontend utilizes Tailwind CSS for styling, Font Awesome for iconography, and Flaticon (specifically assets by DinosoftLabs) for additional visual elements.

- Font Awesome: https://fontawesome.com
- Flaticon: https://www.flaticon.com

  8. Bypass CORS restrictions using the integrated warp-cors proxy

    PolyUploader bypasses browser CORS restrictions by routing requests through a lightweight local HTTP proxy based on warp-cors. The proxy server runs internally on port 61337. Instead of requesting a remote URL directly, requests are prefixed with the local proxy address to avoid CORS errors.
    // Direct request (will trigger CORS)
https://example.com

// Proxied request (bypasses CORS)
http://127.0.0.1:61337/https://example.com
