<summary>Securely and anonymously share a file of any size</summary>
<description>
<p>
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.
OnionShare lets you securely and anonymously send and receive files. It works by starting a
web server, making it accessible as a Tor onion service, and generating an unguessable web
address so others can download files from you, or upload files to you. It does <em>not</em>
require setting up a separate server or using a third party file-sharing service.
</p>
<p>
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 Tor Browser
to download the file from you.
If you want to send files to someone, OnionShare hosts them on your own computer and uses a Tor
onion service to make them temporarily accessible over the internet. The receiving user just
needs to open the web address in Tor Browser to download the files. If you want to receive files,
OnionShare hosts an anonymous dropbox directly on your computer and uses a Tor onion service to
make it temporarily accessible over the internet. Other users can upload files to you from by
loading the web address in Tor Browser.
