• Unique Links: Each uploaded file gets a unique link that can be shared for downloading.
• Secure Access: Files are accessible only through the generated links.
• MongoDB Storage: Files and link metadata are stored in MongoDB for persistence.
• Responsive Design: User interface is responsive and works well on different devices.
