About:
OnionShare is an open-source tool that enables secure, anonymous file sharing and web hosting via the Tor network. It creates a temporary, private onion address for users to access content directly from the sender's computer. The application also includes a secure chat feature for encrypted, anonymous communication.

Key Features:

Anonymous file sharing
Onion service web hosting
Secure, encrypted chat
No third-party servers required

Use Cases:

Journalists securely transferring sensitive documents
Developers hosting temporary test sites
Privacy-conscious users sharing personal files

Alternatives:

Magic Wormhole – Simpler transfer protocol but lacks Tor-based anonymity
Firefox Send – Centralized service (discontinued) vs. OnionShare's decentralized P2P model
