We initially came across Divshare when they won the first free advertising slot on CenterNetworks last year. We interviewed Divshare Co-Founder David Altschul as well. In November the site went up for sale but it looks like a deal never closed. Last month it appears that Divshare had a security scare.

David tells me that this week, version 3.0 of the Divshare application launched. They have redesigned the user dashboard, created a "desktop-feel" to the application to make it easier to upload and share. The sharing function has been simplified and seems similar to basic php upload scripts - which is a good thing. David also noted that all videos, photo galleries, MP3s and documents are converted to an individual embeddable Flash player, while the original file is retained and downloadable. You can also choose to keep all files private. This seems similar to what drop.io offers.

David shared the following stats with us: 600,000 registered users (no active number provided) and 100,000 new users monthly. He also noted that the Divshare service is being used by record labels, DJs, web designers and churches.

With the enormous number of file sharing services on the market today, innovation and differentation is key.
