OnionShare — A trusted file sharing tool

In this post we will talk about Onionshare. It is a tool to share files of any size securely and anonymously. OnionShare creates an onion address that someone else can visit in Tor Browser to access the files that you want to share. It does not require that you setup something specific for file sharing or logging into any account. It just create a random web address for your sharable artifact.
