Simple react app to upload files to IPFS and get the IPFS hash - Using Infura APIs

IPFS Upload - Using Infura API

• This is a simple React App using which you can upload any file to IPFS and it will generate an IPFS hash and a link which can be then shared with people or used however you want.
• Since, Infura discontinued its free IPFS service you will need an API key to use it.

Note

For WindowsOS use some linux based terminal emulator like WSL or GitBash
