The DivShare iPhone App
If you’re lucky enough to have an iPhone, we’ve got some great news. You can now access your DivShare dashboard through our specially designed iPhone interface, available at www.divshare.com/iphone. It’s a great way to keep your files with you wherever you go — you can search your files, download any file in your account and quickly e-mail any file to your friends and colleagues.
We’re also launching our API next week, which will allow you to develop your own apps on top of the DivShare platform. If you’re interested in trying it prior to the official launch, request the Beta client and we’ll hook you up right away.

[…] Next week, we’re also rolling out a brand new video player with some really cool new skinning and logo options, so this is a great opportunity to try those new features for free once they launch. If you haven’t checked out all of today’s updates, don’t miss the document viewer, iPhone application and great press coverage. […]

I use my iPhone and I get to my stuff…..ok
but I up upload a sample video from my computer and I use my iphone to try to see it.
iPhone says Safari can’t download this file.
I don’t necessary want to download video I wanted to just view it.
any suggestions…

Hi Tiger, our understanding is that the iPhone can only display (or play) certain types of video and audio files — and Quicktime-based files probably work best. Unfortunately Flash doesn’t work on the iPhone, so our standard video players aren’t available.

It’s a great idea, and potentially really useful since you can’t save files on the iPhone.
A couple of points of feedback:
The ‘download’ page is redundant on the iPhone, so you sort of have an extra, unnecessary step in there? At least for PDFs, if you click on the name of the file from the front screen (or search results screen) it would seem better to take you to view the PDF.
Server seems pretty slow. Do you host on S3? I fully appreciate that giving unlimited storage for free means I can’t complain too much!
Good work.
