- User can Upload and Delete the data files.
- Uses MongoDB for storage.

To set up your own tool just duplicate the repo. Add the following Environment variables:

1. **SECRET_KEY**= *-- Your Super Secret Key --*
2. **APP_PASSWORD**= *-- Your authetication password --*
3. **MONGO_USERNAME**= *-- Your MongoDB username for Cluster --*
4. **MONGO_PASSWORD**= *-- Your MongoDB password for Cluster --*
5. **REST_URI**= *-- Rest URI of that Cluster --*

> **NOTE :** The default username for the application is setup to be **'admin'**. (*You can change it in the code at **line 33**, inside **check_auth() function***)

> **NOTE :** While setting up MongoDB Cluster save the username and password somewhere safe. The name of the cluster (*used in Rest URI*) can be anything. The databse name must be **'file_storage'** and the collection inside it must be **'files'** if you don't want to tamper with the code.

> **NOTE :** To get more knowledge about MongoDB setup got to this reference: [MongoDB - PyMongo Docs](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/get-started/)
