Why File Sharing on Tor?
Mainstream file sharing services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and WeTransfer require account registration, log IP addresses, and can be compelled to hand over data to authorities. For sensitive file transfers — leaked documents, research data, legal evidence — this creates unacceptable risk.
- Sender anonymity — Files are uploaded through Tor circuits, hiding the sender's IP address
- Recipient anonymity — Downloads happen over Tor, protecting the recipient's identity
- No third-party access — You control the server, so no cloud provider can scan or access your files
- Automatic expiration — Configure files to auto-delete after download or after a set time period
Tor-based file sharing is the standard method used by investigative journalists to receive sensitive documents from sources worldwide.
Supported File Sharing Platforms
Deploy your preferred file sharing solution on AnubizHost's Tor infrastructure:
- OnionShare — A simple tool for securely sharing files, hosting websites, and running chat servers over Tor. Ideal for one-time file transfers.
- Nextcloud — A full-featured cloud platform with file sync, sharing, and collaboration tools. Run your own private cloud accessible only via .onion.
- Lufi — A privacy-focused temporary file hosting service with client-side encryption. Files are encrypted in the browser before upload.

All deployments include configurable upload size limits, storage quotas, and automatic file expiration to manage disk usage efficiently.
Security Features for File Sharing
AnubizHost applies robust security measures to protect your file sharing service:
- Full-disk encryption (LUKS) — All stored files are encrypted at rest
- Client-side encryption support — Platforms like Lufi encrypt files in the browser before they reach the server
- Access controls — Password-protect individual files or require .onion authentication
- Automated cleanup — Cron jobs to purge expired files and free disk space
- Bandwidth optimization — Tor connection pooling and
nginxtuning for large file transfers
For maximum security, we recommend combining server-side encryption with client-side encryption so that even the server operator cannot access file contents.
