Before I begin, I do not agree with his politics, and he does not agree with mine, mostly because he believes things about my politics that I don't actually believe. However He has created a great program, and several people have created beautiful forks of this program. And i have been using one of the forks and I will be using that fork, since it was designed to take up less memory in my antique computer.

Onionshare is an open-source file-sharing program developed by Micah Lee, an independent technologist and journalist. Onionshare was created to make anonymous file-sharing simpler and more secure. It works by utilizing the inherent security of the Tor network, which provides users with both privacy and anonymity as they engage in file-sharing activities.

Onionshare uses a technology called onion routing to transfer files. Onion routing is a system of communicating where the sender's and recipient's identities remain hidden. It works by creating a network of randomly-selected relay points, known as “onions," which securely passes messages over the Internet. The onions cover the user’s IP address and other information, making it impossible for anyone to trace the communication back to the sender or recipient.

In addition to using onion routing, Onionshare also uses private file sharing. This occurs when files are sent from one user to another without being stored on a server in-between. Files are encrypted before being sent, meaning that only the sender and recipient can access the files. Furthermore, files can only be shared once, eliminating any chance of them being re-distributed without the sender’s consent.

For a users to get started with Onionshare, they will need to download the program and install it on their device. Once the program is installed, users simply create a new share with the files they wish to transfer, and then generate a shareable URL. Copying and pasting this URL into a browser will open an onion-routed version of that file. The recipient can securely access the file, while Onionshare provides the sender with information on when the file is downloaded and viewed.

Onionshare is an incredibly useful program for anyone wanting to securely and anonymously share files. The program is incredibly easy to use and requires little technical knowledge to set up and operate. Onionshare can also be used on multiple platforms, which makes it more widely accessible. Additionally, the program is open-source and continually updated, so users can be sure that their files are kept secure. With Onionshare, users can rest assured their sensitive information is kept confidential and their file transfers are done safely.
