It's also worth noting that the recipient does not need OnionShare installed to download your shared file(s). 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. 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.īy default the program disables the service once the files have been downloaded once. OnionShare provides a cryptic URL for the site, like "". 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. 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 permits anonymous file sharing through the TOR browser eliminating the need for third-party file sharing apps. The program requires the Tor browser to be running in the background, but otherwise there's no configuration required. But users who disable that will be pushing their luck. Its true, though, that OnionShare by default deletes everything after one successful download. And prudent folk dont host sensitive stuff that way from home.
This is powered by the popular Tor network. But just to be clear, OnionShare just uses Python scripts to create and manage an onion web server on the users computer. 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. OnionShare is an open-source Tor-based tool for sharing files securely and anonymously.
