We know that many of you use DivShare for all of your file sharing/hosting needs, and we also know that many of you are on Facebook. That’s why you’ll be happy to know that DivShare is now takin’ on Facebook! Just yesterday they made the announcement, and now you have yet another easy way to share files with your friends right from Facebook.
Thumbs up to…
- The fact that you can upload your files and post them on your profile for your friends to see.
- You can send the files to specific friends on Facebook
- You can post your files to the news feed – if there’s something you want all of your friends to see like a video, song, or image, this is the perfect way to notify the masses.
Thumbs down to…
- Can’t manage and access uploaded files on Facebook
- When you click on a file to view it, you’ll be taken to DivShare to view it instead of viewing it from Facebook. It might be nice if it would open in a small pop-up instead of a whole new window.
- Box.net seems to have a better interface for viewing files on Facebook
This is what the uploader looks like on Facebook– note your options for sharing:
This is what will appear on your profile after you’ve uploaded files:
Overall it’s a great app for Facebook and another smart move by DivShare to make their service to accessible to everybody. And just as the stand alone service, you have unlimited storage up to 200 MB per file!

Leef’s Bridge USB flash drive lets you share files between your smartphone and computer
Posted in: Today's Chili
Sharing files between devices using the cloud is fine, but California firm Leef Technology believes it has a more direct approach: a USB key. Aptly named Bridge, the flash drive lets you copy files from any Android 4.0 or higher device with a micro-USB connector, then transfer them to your Mac or PC by popping out the larger end. It’s similar to the micro-USB OTG dongles we’ve seen at Computex earlier this year, despite the difference in design. You can nab the double-ended peripheral in either 16GB ($18) or 32GB ($28) from Amazon or Leef’s website (at the source), and a 64GB GB version will be out in July. Who knows — maybe that’ll finally put an end to the cat video and selfie clutter on your cloud service.

SpiderOak unveils Hive, a streamlined file service with ‘100-percent’ privacy
Posted in: Today's Chili
A new cloud-based file system from SpiderOak looks to challenge the likes of Dropbox with a bigger emphasis on privacy. Those familiar with SpiderOak know that the company has been offering a “100-percent private” file environment for some time; the company can’t view any information about the files you upload, whereas other file-sharing sites can access users’ data. The just-announced service, dubbed Hive, merges that encryption cred with a simplified interface. Hive utilizes one main folder for dragging and dropping files, and it automatically syncs data across your devices. Files, meanwhile, can be shared with friends or colleagues as links.
The latest update to the SpiderOak mobile app integrates with Hive to let you manage and view data; the Android version will leave beta on May 13th. As Hive is connected to the company’s broader file service, it follows the same pricing plan: 2GB free or 100GB for $10 a month. For a limited time, though, new users can get 5GB when they sign up and download the app. Click through to the source link for more info.

BitTorrent Sync (version alpha) is now available for all to use (for free). Prior to this a pre-alpha version was circulating, but the access was limited to 20,000 users.

The Pirate Bay moving its servers to the U.S. to become “The Freedom Bay“ is obviously the popular torrent-tracking website’s April Fools’ Day joke, but its popularity over the years has been slowly rising with it reaching the top of the file-sharing website ranks as they have just become the #1 site for our file-sharing needs.
The news comes from some analytical work done by Torrent Freak to reveal The Pirate Bay has taken the top spot to become the world’s most-used file-sharing website. The rise in The Pirate Bay’s popularity is due to its gradual increase in the number of visitors, but the real reason might have to do with the drop in popularity of one-click hosting websites once Megaupload was shut down.
