## Quick Start
You can download OnionShare to install on your computer from <https://onionshare.org/>.
-You can set up your development environment to build OnionShare yourself by following [these instructions](/BUILD.md). You can also install OnionShare in your Tails persistent volume by following [these instructions](/tails/README.md) (requires Tails 1.1 or later).

## How to Use
-Before you can share a file, you need to open [Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/) in the background. This will provide the Tor service that OnionShare uses to start the hidden service.

-Open OnionShare and browse to find the file you wish to share. It will show you a long, random-looking URL such as `http://v645bzpxmdtclpv3.onion/73b44511983c08bf29df40d0b1d00a69` and copy it to your clipboard. This is the secret URL that can be used to download the file you're sharing. If you'd like multiple people to be able to download this file, uncheck the "close automatically" checkbox in the corner.

-Send this URL to the person you're trying to send the file to. If the file you're sending isn't very secret, you can use normal means of sending the URL: emailing it, posting it to Facebook or Twitter, etc. If you're trying to send a secret file then it's important to send this URL secrely. I recommend you use [Off-the-Record encrypted chat](https://pressfreedomfoundation.org/encryption-works#otr) to send the URL.
