OnionShare

Build Status

OnionShare lets you securely and anonymously share files of any size. It works by starting a web server, making it accessible as a Tor onion service, and generating an unguessable URL to access and download the files. 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 onion service to make it temporarily accessible over the internet. The other user just needs to use Tor Browser to download the file from you.

Features include:

  • A user-friendly drag-and-drop graphical user interface that works in Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux
  • Ability to share multiple files and folders at once
  • Support for multiple people downloading files at once
  • Automatically copies the unguessable URL to your clipboard
  • Shows you the progress of file transfers
  • When file is done transferring, automatically closes OnionShare to reduce the attack surface
  • Localized into several languages, and supports international unicode filenames

If you're interested in exactly what OnionShare does and does not protect against, read the Security Design Document.
