# OnionShare
[OnionShare](https://onionshare.org) 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 does _not_ require setting up a separate server or using a third party file-sharing service. You host the files on your own computer and use a Tor Onion Service to make it temporarily accessible over the internet. The receiving user just needs to open the URL in Tor Browser to download the file.
## Documentation
To learn how OnionShare works, what its security properties are, and how to use it, check out the [wiki](https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare/wiki).
## Downloading OnionShare
You can download OnionShare for Windows and macOS from the [OnionShare website](https://onionshare.org).
For Ubuntu-like distributions, you could use this PPA to get the latest version:

```
