Add password protection to your folders!
We’re introducing a new privacy option tonight — you can now password-protect all the files in any folder or gallery by simply adding a password to your folder. When outside users visit your download pages, they’ll have to enter the password (which you can provide to individual users or post on your blog, for example) before they can access the files in that folder. You can add a password on the upload form when you create a new folder, or from the Dashboard’s folder pages. Hit us up with any questions or ideas in the comments, and enjoy the new feature!

Yes! This is great! Just what the doctor ordered.
Will definitely give this a try tonight.
Thanks so much divshare.

hi, this is a feature i would like to use, however i cannot get it to work properly.
I have modified a folder to be password protected, but when i open the download link (while logged out of my account), the password screen comes up, but the download starts anyways, with no password entered…

I love this feature. It more or less allow me to back up some files OR to share some files only with a few of my friends.
I would love to see sub-folders being offered on DivShare any time soon…

ok i have just had to password protect all my files but they can still be downloaded from my site? i have even made them private again with the option thats still there and i can still download then from the link on my web site. i spent hours last week adding all these files to my site so people could listen to my music but not download them and all that seems to have been for nothing - is this supposed to be an upgrade??

Hey Borisbolo, if you are logged in, you’ll never be prompted for a password to view your own files, even though outside visitors will. This might be the issue, but if not, drop us a link to your site at support@divshare.com and we’ll take a look at it.

sorry bout that i think i have found out what was going on, it kept logging me in even tho i had previously logged out, all i had to do was go to the files from my site and when it logged me in automatically i just logged off once and it seemed to cure the problem - sorry if i was a bit terse in my earlier post, you may want to check this out as a bit of a glitch. keep up the good work guys

[…] As we mentioned last week, we’ve officially retired the “private file” feature in favor of the more convenient password-protected folders. If you have any files that are private, they will stay that way, and you will still have the option to make them public from the dashboard. (We’ll be removing the “make this file public” command down the road, but not for a while.) If you have any questions, hit us up at support@divshare.com […]

How do we view files made piblic? Is there a central meeting place for them?
What is the address that we make available to a public that we’ve given our profile address to (mine being http://www.divshare.com/profile/Lee_Davis)?
If so can you please notify us as to what it is? Thanx & keep up the good work

If you put a video (NOT to be downloaded) in a password-protected folder and post this video on your own site or forum just to show it, people who visit your forum just have to click on the icon meaning “click to copy the embed code to clipboard” which is on the video. Then they just have to paste this code to have YOUR video posted on ANOTHER SITE. And I tried, it works even when I’m logged out ! So… where is the protection, if anybody can take my videos an post them in another place ???

Hey Isabelle.If you don’t want your files to be embedded by someone else you have to go to your account settings and change that option.

I’d like to embed a video in my external community but don’t want anybody to take this video to his/her site.
Now, I have a workaround that first I uncheck the option “Don’t show embed code for my flash players” in preference, embed a video in my external community and check the option.
but I think it’s rather tricky. so I hope I can always get the embed code regardless of preference only when I log in divshare.
