What am I missing and what is the catch? divShare offers free accounts, picture galleries, no expirations, full-size pictures … all for free. I signed up for an account, ran all over the site … and can’t find an ad anywhere either.

According to their site blog, it looks like they went online on 12/19 and as of the time of the blog post, they had 700 users.

Check out some more stats:

Total Users: 701
Co-branded Users: 119 (17%)

Total Uploads: 2,226
Total Downloads: 50,531
Average File Size: 3.52 MB

Unique Visitors: 22,445

We Say: Naturally, with no source of income, there is the concern that this place might go “poof” like many sites during the original Internet boom / bust. I’m also wondering if this is just a “teaser” before a pay-for site emerges, and how the site will respond with more users. On the other hand, at least for trial purposes, I can’t see anything wrong with using it for a backup … to your backup. :-)

    There’s an “advertise” link. Following it gets:

    “As you may have noticed, there are no ads on the site right now. We’ll be putting a few up shortly, but we also promise never to invade your DivShare experience with loud, unstable or otherwise obnoxious ads.”
