OnionShare is an open source tool that lets you securely and anonymously share files, host websites, and chat with friends using the Tor network. Share files, host websites, and chat anonymously via a new tabbed interface for maximum productivity.

Our take

Sharing files or hosting a site directly over your own Tor onion service, with no third party in the middle, is about as private as file transfer gets. The cost is in convenience and speed: the recipient needs Tor, your machine has to stay online for the duration, and transfers crawl compared to a normal link. The right tool when nobody should be able to see that a transfer happened; the wrong one for sending a big file to a non-technical friend in a hurry.
