OnionShare is an open-source Tor-based tool for sharing files securely and anonymously.

Rather than using public servers (from companies such as Google Drive, DropBox, WeTransfer) to host your files for sharing, OnionShare uses the 'DarkNet', meaning no-one knows where they are hosted, sourced or who supplied them originally. This is powered by the popular Tor network.

The program requires the Tor browser to be running in the background, but otherwise there's no configuration required. Just add your target files or folders, click "Start Sharing" and OnionShield automatically sets up a temporary website to host the files (a Tor hidden service).

OnionShare provides a cryptic URL for the site, like "http://nt6ug3sqnkcd3jds.onion/kitten-table". Pass this to the recipient in a secure way, and if they enter this in the Tor browser they'll be able to download the file directly from your PC.

By default the program disables the service once the files have been downloaded once. Even if someone else finds the URL later, that means it won't be available and they'll have no way to link it to you.

It's also worth noting that the recipient does not need OnionShare installed to download your shared file(s).
