Onion Share

 

OnionShare is an open source tool for securely and anonymously sending and receiving files using Tor onion services. It works by starting a web server directly on your computer and making it accessible as an unguessable Tor web address that others can load in Tor Browser to download files from you, or upload files to you. It doesn’t require setting up a separate server, using a third party file-sharing service, or even logging into an account.

Unlike services like email, Google Drive, DropBox, WeTransfer, or nearly any other way people typically send files to each other, when you use OnionShare you don’t give any companies access to the files that you’re sharing. So long as you share the unguessable web address in a secure way (like pasting it in an encrypted messaging app), no one but you and the person you’re sharing with can access the files.

After completing the installation, open the start menu and type in “OnionShare” to start using the software. OnionShare will try to connect to the TOR network. All you need to do now is drag & drop a file you want to share and press the large green button “Start sharing”. Once th upload of the file is done a .onion address will be created. Anyone with this OnionShare address can download your files using the Tor Browser. Keep in mind that the onion address is only reachable as long as you are sharing it via OnionShare. Closing OnionShare will result in disabling the link being used to share the documents.
