# OnionShare
[](https://travis-ci.org/micahflee/onionshare)
OnionShare lets you securely and anonymously share files of any size. It works by starting a web server, making it accessible as a Tor onion service, and generating an unguessable URL to access and download the files. 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 onion service to make it temporarily accessible over the internet. The other user just needs to use Tor Browser to download the file from you.
Features include:
* A user-friendly drag-and-drop graphical user interface that works in Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux
* Ability to share multiple files and folders at once
* Support for multiple people downloading files at once
* Automatically copies the unguessable URL to your clipboard
* Shows you the progress of file transfers
* When file is done transferring, automatically closes OnionShare to reduce the attack surface
* Localized into several languages, and supports international unicode filenames
If you're interested in exactly what OnionShare does and does not protect against, read the [Security Design Document](/SECURITY.md).
