Kashish Chaudhary

Kashish Chaudhary is an independent developer whose open-source project CollabFS turns any ordinary folder into a live, multi-user workspace. Built around a lightweight file-system driver, CollabFS watches every create, edit, rename or delete event and streams those changes to all invited participants in real time; conflicts are resolved through operational-transform logic so code, Office documents, Photoshop files or even game assets converge automatically without manual merges. Typical use cases range from pair-programming sessions where two IDE windows update the same repo instantly, to university teams co-authoring LaTeX reports, to remote video editors sharing proxy footage whose final renders are triggered as soon as the last timeline file settles. Because the synchronization layer sits at the kernel level, any application—old or new—sees only a normal local directory, eliminating the need for special plug-ins or cloud lock-in; optional end-to-end encryption and self-hosted relay servers keep corporate or personal data inside chosen infrastructure. The tool is published under a permissive MIT licence and ships as both a command-line daemon and a minimal Windows service that can be started on demand. Kashish Chaudhary’s CollabFS is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always pull the latest release, and can be installed alongside other applications in one batch operation.
