[*OnionShare*](https://onionshare.org/) is a tool to share files of any size securely and anonymouslyallows you to create secure, anonymous, and disposable services that other people can connect to.
All these services are provided as Tor onion services and are only available through the Tor network. You can share the address of these onion services with other people to create temporary and anonymous communication channels.
<p>Unlike most Internet services, people using your <i>OnionShare</i> services connect directly to your Tails over the Tor network. Your data is never shared with or stored on any third-party server. Your Tails becomes a temporary and anonymous server.</p>
The files are not shared anymore as soon as you close <span class="application">These services become unavailable as soon as you close *OnionShare</span>* or shut down Tails.
