DEVELOPMENT OF A CLOUD SERVICE FOR ORGANIZING THE CLIPBOARD

Abstract

In this paper, a range of applications, functionally similar to a cloud clipboard, was analyzed, including Crococlip, Copy 2 Online, and Online Clipboard. Based on this analysis, requirements for the software were identified, with the primary purpose of facilitating file and data exchange. A prototype of a cloud clipboard was implemented using interfaces that interact with the file system and the computer's clipboard from within a web browser. Programming aspects of the software components, data storage methods, and web server configuration were discussed. The final product underwent testing, with identified areas affecting user experience requiring refinement. The cloud clipboard was tested on a real hosting environment for student projects within the Department of Computer Science and Cybersecurity. The developed product enables data and file exchange between devices with internet access. The development API can be used independently. In comparison with counterparts, the product allows exchange without authentication or additional software installation, supports uploading files, and utilizes drag-and-drop functionality. The complexity of the code cell, and consequently the security level, is determined by the user.
