A coalition of companies collaborates collectively and shares information to improve their operations together. Distributed trust and transparency cannot be obtained with centralized file-sharing platforms. File sharing may be done transparently and securely with blockchain technology. This project suggests an inter-organizational secure file-sharing system based on blockchain technology. The group can use it to securely share files in a distributed manner. The creation of smart contracts and the configuration of blockchain networks are carried out by Hyperledger Fabric, an enterprise blockchain platform. Distributed file storage is accomplished through the usage of the Inter Planetary File System (IPFS). The workflow for file-sharing and identity management procedures is provided in the paper. Using blockchain technology, the recommended approach enables a group of businesses to share files with availability, integrity, and confidentiality. The suggested method uses blockchain to enable safe file exchange amongst a group of enterprises. It offers shared file availability, confidentiality, and integrity. It guarantees complete file encryption. The blockchain provides tamper-resistant storage for the shared file's content ID. On the distributed storage and blockchain ledger, respectively, the encrypted file and file metadata are stored.
