Or make a new section with OnionShare and SecureDrop?

To put some flesh on the VERY bare bones:-

Onionshare
https://onionshare.org/

micahflee/onionshare: Securely and anonymously share a file of any size
https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare

DuckDuckGo
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Onionshare

Onionshare Alternatives and Similar Software - AlternativeTo.net

I have heard of this before, under which section would this go?

@kewde
suggest File Encryption Software
https://www.privacytools.io/#encrypt

@Hillside502
OnionShare is a tool for anonymous file sharing and not a tool for file encryption.

@bezcitu
then, maybe as a footnote to:-
Self-contained Networks
https://www.privacytools.io/#network

Or make a new section with OnionShare and SecureDrop?

SecureDrop
https://securedrop.org/

SecureDrop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SecureDrop

A new section seems appropriate. What should the name in case we go that route?

On a personal note, is it right to assume that OnionShare is more targeted at providing a tool for individuals looking to quickly and secretly share a file? SecureDrop IMO seems more like a tool for businesses and news orgs etc. Not that it matters, I just like to make the distinction in my head :P

@kewde @Shifterovich Maybe make a new "File Sharing" section?

The name of the section would make BitTorrent elitists angry if we didn't mention the BitTorrent protocol :P. Anyway, I can recommend I2PSnark and iMule as file sharing tools.
