OnionDrop lets you send and receive files through temporary Tor onion links directly from your Android device.
Tor and the transfer server run on the phone. No cloud account, external OnionDrop server, Umbrel installation or Orbot installation is required.
Features include private send and receive links, QR codes, SHA-256 checksums, local file storage, export through Android's document picker and automatically expiring 30-minute sessions.
OnionDrop contains no advertising or analytics SDKs. The source code is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later.
What’s new
Correct singular and plural file counters in all eight languages. F-Droid builds are pinned to a full source commit hash.
How to install
Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
Data safety
Every file is checked against its published SHA-256 before it is listed.
Files are scanned for malware on every update.
The permissions each app requests are listed on its own page.
Read the full safety policy for how we test, flag, and delist files.
