About OnionShare
OnionShare starts a temporary onion service on your own machine to send or receive files, host a static website or run an ephemeral chat room, so no third-party service ever holds the data. Recipients open the address in Tor Browser and the service disappears when you stop it.
Strengths
- No account and no third-party server ever holds your files
- Also hosts a static site or an ephemeral chat room over the same mechanism
Limitations
- Both sides need Tor, and transfers are slow
- Your machine must stay online for the whole transfer
