I'm relatively new to node, and to sharpen the skills I want to build a chat app that also allows for file transfer between users (all common file types). I've been doing a lot of googling and getting a lot of different answers regarding the best way to achieve the file sharing part.I'm thinking that I need to allow user 1 to upload the file in the UI, and then store the file in a database, and then present a link to user 2 so that the file can be downloaded?In the past I used multer and base64 conversion for image upload and storage in mongodb. I'm also hearing a lot about websockets. If someone could point me in the right direction, and maybe provide a brief description of the process (such as the paragraph above) and best technologies, I think I have enough experience to figure the details out myself.Thanks!
