OnionShare Micah Lee, et al.
Use this command to install OnionShare:
winget install --id=OnionShare.OnionShare -e 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 file-sharing 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.
OnionShare is an open-source tool designed to enable secure and anonymous file sharing, website hosting, and private communication over the Tor network. It empowers users to share files directly from their own computer without relying on third-party services or public servers.
