Project Summary
Share a file over Tor Hidden Services anonymously and securely.
OnionShare lets you securely and anonymously share a file of any size with
someone. It works by starting a web server, making it accessible as a Tor
hidden service, and generating an unguessable URL to access and download
the file. It doesn't require setting up a server on the Internet somewhere
or using a third party filesharing service. You host the file on your own
computer and use a Tor hidden service to make it temporarily accessible
over the Internet. The other user just needs to use the Tor Browser and
to enter the URL to download the file from you.
