OnionShare

OnionShare is a neat little tool that's open source, and it packs a punch when it comes to sharing files and folders safely and anonymously. When you use this app on your Mac, it kicks off a web server and uses the Tor network to keep your file transfers private.

Easy Setup for File Sharing

The best part? OnionShare has a simple installer that makes everything easy peasy. Just remember, you'll need to have the Tor Browser running too. Setting up is straightforward: just drag and drop whatever files or folders you want to share, hit the right button, and you're good to go!

Control Your Sharing Experience

If you check the “Stop sharing automatically” option, OnionShare will stop sharing as soon as someone finishes downloading. If not, folks can keep downloading until you decide to turn off the web server yourself.

Monitor Transfers Like a Pro

You can easily keep an eye on how each transfer is going right in the OnionShare window. You’ll even get updates if anyone cancels their download!

Get Your Secure Link

When OnionShare starts up that web server, it automatically creates a super random URL link for your archive and puts it right on your clipboard. Need to copy it again? No problem! Just press a button anytime to grab that link.

Using Tor for Downloading

Just a heads up: anyone who wants to download those archives needs to use the Tor Browser too. This way, all your file transfers are routed through Tor for extra anonymity.

Your Files Stay Safe with OnionShare

To wrap things up, OnionShare lets you share files and folders easily while keeping everything secure. Since all data goes through the Tor network and is hosted locally on your machine, there’s no need to upload anything to third-party servers. Want to give it a try? Download OnionShare now!
