Ever wanted to share something without also sharing it with Google or Dropbox? Tax documents, medical information, or unpublished research? Share files directly and securely without the middlemen. Your Private Productivity Suite.. In Your Pocket! Share files and host websites right from your phone, all over Tor Onion Services, built by the developers who created Orbot, Briar, Onion Browser and CalyxOS! What OnionShare protects against Third parties don’t have access to anything that happens in OnionShare. Using OnionShare means hosting services directly on your computer. When sharing your files with OnionShare, they are not uploaded to any third-party server. This avoids the traditional model of having to trust the computers of others. Network eavesdroppers can’t spy on anything that happens in OnionShare in transit. The connection between the Tor onion service and Tor Browser is end-to-end encrypted. This means network attackers can’t eavesdrop on anything except encrypted Tor traffic. Even if an eavesdropper is a malicious rendezvous node used to connect the Tor Browser with OnionShare’s onion service, the traffic is encrypted using the onion service’s private key. Anonymity of OnionShare users are protected by Tor. OnionShare and Tor Browser protect the anonymity of the users. As long as the OnionShare user anonymously communicates the OnionShare address with the Tor Browser users, the Tor Browser users and eavesdroppers can’t learn the identity of the OnionShare user. If an attacker learns about the onion service, they still can’t access anything. Prior attacks against the Tor network to enumerate onion services allowed attackers to discover private .onion addresses. To access an OnionShare service from its address, the private key used for client authentication must be guessed (unless the service is already made public by turning off the private key – see Turn Off Private Key).

About

Rumskrot Archives

Features
Read full description

Rumskrot Archives opens compressed archives on iPhone and iPad and lets you look inside before you unpack anything. The folder tree appears straight from the archive's own index, photos open in a real viewer, documents and source code render in place, and saving a copy is always your choice. LOOK INSIDE BEFORE YOU UNPACK Open ZIP, RAR, 7-Zip, TAR and compressed TAR archives from Files, Mail, Messages or the Share Sheet. Browse the archive's folder structure before exporting anything. Visible photos get thumbnails; previews read the content you open and nearby images. Compressed TAR archives may use temporary storage for faster browsing, controlled in Settings. A REAL PHOTO VIEWER Tap a photo and page through the whole folder: pinch and double-tap to zoom, pan around, and scrub the filmstrip along the bottom. No hand-off to another app. READ IT RIGHT THERE • PDF, Markdown, SVG and plain text render in place. • Source code is syntax-highlighted across more than 30 languages. • Supported audio and video play without leaving the archive. EVERY FORMAT, EVEN NESTED • ZIP, including ZipCrypto and WinZip AES. • RAR, including RAR5, encrypted headers and multi-volume sets. • 7-Zip, including AES and encrypted headers. • TAR, .tar.gz/.tgz, .tar.bz2 and .tar.xz. • Comic-book ZIP, RAR and 7-Zip containers. Archives inside an archive expand in the same list, through their own reader. PASSWORDS, ON YOUR TERMS Encrypted archives ask for a password only when they need one. It is forgotten when you close the archive, unless you switch on Remember this password, which stores it in the Keychain on this device only. KEEP ONLY WHAT YOU CHOOSE Opening is ephemeral by default: closing an archive releases its session and temporary storage without deleting your original file. When you do want a copy, save it deliberately to Local storage, a Private scope protected by device authentication, or a Files-visible iCloud Drive folder. Saving to iCloud is explicit; the app confirms before uploading a copy. LESS LEFT BEHIND No telemetry, analytics, accounts, ads or tracking SDKs. Preview data stays in memory when practical. When an operation needs scratch storage, it is protected at rest, excluded from backup, released when the operation or archive session ends, and checked again at the next launch. Cleanup is best effort: iOS and storage providers ultimately control their own storage. WORKS WITH THE SYSTEM Shortcuts and Siri actions can open archives, export one entry or the whole archive, save into the library, and create iCloud library folders. FREE AND SUBSCRIPTION Open one archive at a time and keep one saved archive for free. The annual subscription unlocks unlimited simultaneous open archives and unlimited saved archives. Existing files remain visible if the subscription ends. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://danskrumskrot.com/privacy
