Abstract:
Methods and systems for securely sharing files with user devices based on location are described herein. A computing device may receive, from a user device, a request to share a file. The computing device may determine other user devices at the location of the user device desiring to share a file. Unique tokens and/or unique session identifiers may be generated to facilitate secure sharing of the file, and each token and/or session identifier may correspond to a different user device. The computing device may send, to each different user device, the device's corresponding token and/or session identifier. The computing device may also send, to the user device desiring to share the file, the tokens and/or session identifiers for the other user devices. The user device may securely send the file to one or more of the other user devices using the tokens and/or session identifiers.
