About

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 file-sharing 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.

Security

No known CVEs for OnionShare.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
