<summary>Securely and anonymously share a file of any size</summary>
<description>
<p>
- OnionShare lets you securely and anonymously share a file of any size with someone. It works
- by starting a web server, making it accessible as a Tor hidden service, and generating an
- unguessable URL to access and download the file.
+ OnionShare lets you securely and anonymously send and receive files. It works by starting a
+ web server, making it accessible as a Tor onion service, and generating an unguessable web
+ address so others can download files from you, or upload files to you. It does <em>not</em>
+ require setting up a separate server or using a third party file-sharing service.
</p>
<p>
- It doesn't require setting up a server on the internet somewhere or using a third party
- filesharing service. You host the file on your own computer and use a Tor hidden service to
- make it temporarily accessible over the internet. The other user just needs to use Tor Browser
- to download the file from you.
+ If you want to send files to someone, OnionShare hosts them on your own computer and uses a Tor
+ onion service to make them temporarily accessible over the internet. The receiving user just
+ needs to open the web address in Tor Browser to download the files. If you want to receive files,
+ OnionShare hosts an anonymous dropbox directly on your computer and uses a Tor onion service to
+ make it temporarily accessible over the internet. Other users can upload files to you from by
+ loading the web address in Tor Browser.
