OnionShare

What is OnionShare?

OnionShare is an open-source tool that enables secure and anonymous file sharing, website hosting, and chatting using the Tor network. It operates by starting local web servers on the user's computer and making them accessible as Tor onion services. The default OnionShare web addresses are protected with randomly generated passwords, ensuring privacy. Users are responsible for securely sharing the unique OnionShare URL with intended recipients, who can then access the service through the Tor Browser. OnionShare's decentralized architecture ensures that no third party, including the developers, can access the content or activities within the application. This tool leverages the anonymity provided by the Tor network to protect the user's privacy
