![]() ![]() Even if disappearing messages is turned on it’s hard to confirm all copies of the messages are actually deleted from all devices, and from any other places (like notifications databases) they may have been saved to. If, for example, you send a message to a Signal group, a copy of your message ends up on each device (the devices, and computers if they set up Signal Desktop of each member of the group). If you're already using an encrypted messaging app, what’s the point of an OnionShare chat room? It leaves fewer traces. Then everyone loads this address in a Tor Browser, makes up a name to go by, and can have a completely private conversation. You start a chat service, it gives you an OnionShare address, and then you send this address to everyone who is invited to the chat room (using an encrypted messaging app like Signal, for example). Secure, anonymous, ephemeral chat rooms that don't log anythingĪnother major new feature is chat. Under the hood, the addition of tabs also makes OnionShare connect to the Tor network faster, especially if you're using a bridge. So with OnionShare 2.3 you can host a few websites, have your own personal anonymous dropbox, and securely send files to people whenever you want, all at the same time. You can have as many tabs open as you want at a time, and you can easily save tabs (that's what the purple thumbtack in the tab bar means) so that if you quit OnionShare and open it again later, these services can start back up with the same OnionShare addresses. ![]() Now when you open OnionShare you are presented with a blank tab that lets you choose between sharing files, receiving files, hosting a website, or chatting anonymous. You could use it as an anonymous dropbox, and then later to host an onion site.īut what if you wanted to, for example, run your own anonymous dropbox as well as share files with someone? If your OnionShare was busy running a service, you couldn't run a second service without stopping the first service. In the olden days, OnionShare only did one thing: let you securely and anonymously share files over the Tor network. For now though I'm just going to go over the major ones: tabs, anonymous chat, and better command line support. This version includes loads of new and exciting features which you can read about in much more detail on the brand new OnionShare documentation website,.
