OnionShare is a tool to share files of any size securely and anonymously. OnionShare creates an onion address that someone else can visit in Tor Browser to access the files that you want to share. To share files with OnionShare: Open the Files browser. A brand-new version of the popular OnionShare app dropped the other day, and I recommend giving it a shot if you’re looking to make clandestine connections with friends or internet strangers.

Onion Proxy Server
OnionShare is an open source tool that lets you securely and anonymously share files, host websites, and chat with friends using the Tor network. It works like this: OnionShare starts a web server directly on your computer and then makes it accessible to other people as a Tor onion service, protected with a random password. A typical OnionShare address looks like this:
http://onionshare:constrict-purity@by4im3ir5nsvygprmjq74xwplrkdgt44qmeapxawwikxacmr3dqzyjad.onion

You’re responsible for securely sharing that URL using a communication channel of your choice like in an encrypted chat message, or using something less secure like unencrypted e-mail, depending on your threat model. The people you send the URL to then copy and paste it into their Tor Browser to access the OnionShare service.
If you run OnionShare on your laptop to send someone files, and then suspend it before the files are sent, the service will not be available until your laptop is unsuspended and on the Internet again. OnionShare works best when working with people in real-time.
Because your own computer is the web server, no third party can access anything that happens in OnionShare, not even the developers of OnionShare. It’s completely private. And because OnionShare is based on Tor onion services too, it also protects your anonymity.
