Media Aggregation and Sorting System

This is my final-year mobile app project.

It is an Expo/React Native app that pulls media from multiple sources (device storage, Google Photos picker flow, and NAS) and shows everything in one timeline-style view.

What This Project Does

Local user accounts (register/login)
Local SQLite database on-device (PhotosApp.db)
Service onboarding for:
- Google Photos
- NAS
- iCloud placeholder
Unified media view with source badges
Collections/albums screen
Search screen
Settings screen for theme, services, and backup options

Current Architecture

Entrypoint is App.js
App.js initializes the database, then mounts navigation
Stack flow:
- Login
- Register
- Onboarding
- MainTabs
- Settings
Bottom tabs in MainTabs:
- Library (HomeScreen)
- Search (SearchScreen)
- Collections (AlbumsScreen)

Data layer

Database setup lives in src/services/DatabaseService.js.

Tables currently used:

users
linked_accounts
media

Passwords are hashed with SHA-256 via src/services/CredentialEncryption.js. Linked account payloads are stored as Base64-encoded JSON strings.

Service/auth layer

Auth services are in src/AUTH/:

GoogleAUTH.js
NASAUTH.js
IOSAUTH.js (placeholder)

Common interface base: src/AUTH/AuthServiceBase.js.

API client wrappers are in src/API/.

Backend (NAS side)

There is a separate Node/Express backend in ServerFiles/server.js.

It handles NAS connection and file operations for the mobile app.
