This is a special episode recorded live during a live coding session on YouTube (2022-09-16).

How can you build a WeTransfer or a Dropbox Transfer clone on AWS?  This is our fourth live coding stream. In this episode, we started looking into adding some security to our application. Specifically, we started implementing a device auth flow on top of AWS Cognito to allow our file upload CLI application to get some credentials. 

All our code is available in this repository: https://github.com/awsbites/weshare.click
