Knowledge Tutorial

This project is a web-based file manager that allows users to manage, browse, and share files on a server through a modern interface. It acts as a virtual librarian, maintaining an index of the physical file system to enable fast searching and viewing. The system combines a secure backend API for handling file operations and authentication with a reactive frontend dashboard for visual interaction and media previews.
