# OnionShare
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 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 Tor Browser to download the file from you.

Since OnionShare is a command line program, and using it involves copying and pasting a URL from a command prompt window, it's less frusturating if you use the Windows PowerShell rather than the Command Prompt (in PowerShell, select text you want to copy and then right-click to copy it onto the clipboard). But you can use either. Open either PowerShell or a Command Prompt, cd to your onionshare folder, and run `python.exe onionshare.py` with the path to the file you want to share. For example:
