Wuala Description

Join Wuala today and start managing and sharing your files online - free, simple, and secure. Wuala is a free social online storage which allows its users to securely store, backup, and access files from anywhere and to share files easily with friends, groups, and the world. Tens of thousands of users and thousands of communities around the world are already actively sharing millions of files, growing quickly.Wuala is based on a revolutionary technology that was researched for the most part at ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). Users start with 1 GB of storage but can get as much as they want, either by trading idle disk space or by buying additional storage. All files are encrypted before they leave the user's computer and the user selects who gets access to which folder. No one else - including us - gets to see the files. Wuala comes as a convenient application for Windows, Mac, and Linux that can also be started directly from within the browser, elegantly bridging web and desktop. Here are some key features of "Wuala":Security· PrivacyLike you, we care about privacy. That's why privacy is a key aspect of Wuala. All files get encrypted on your computer and you control who has access to which folders. Since your password never leaves your computer, no one else - including us - can see your private files.Unlimited and fast· Lots of storageYou start with 1 GB of storage for free, but you can get much more! You can either trade unused local disk space for more online storage (e.g., trade 50 GBs on your computer to get up to 50 GBs of online storage), or buy additional storage at a really good price. With Wuala, you can easily get as much room as you need for all your photos, documents, and videos.· Unlimited trafficWuala does not limit your traffic in any way. You can upload and download as much as you want and downloads are very fast. Amazing? Sure - our novel technology makes it possible.· Any file, any sizeYou can upload any file of any size. Be it a 100 KB Word file, a 2 MB JPG photo, or a 3 GB video.· Fast downloadsDownloads in Wuala are fast. Why? Thanks to our storage grid technology you can download from multiple sources in parallel, providing you with maximum download speed.Convenience· Drag and dropSimply drag and drop the files or folders you want to upload into Wuala. Done. No "choose file" dialogs, no single selections.· Desktop and webConvenience is important to us. Wuala is not a clumsy website where you need to upload files one by one, but it's a desktop client where you can drag-and-drop and upload files in the background. Nevertheless, Wuala can be started from the web, making it easy to run anywhere.· Integrated into Windows, Mac, and LinuxWuala is fully integrated into your system, be it Windows, Mac, or Linux. You can open a file with a double click from Wuala or browse the Wuala disk from the "Open" dialog of any application. You can also edit files directly in Wuala. No copying around, no synchronization.· Upload in the backgroundThat's another thing a web-based solution just can't do: Dump your files into Wuala and let it take care of the rest. You need to quit Wuala or shut down your computer while uploading files? No problem! Wuala will continue right where it stopped when you launch it the next time.· ResponsivenessBeing an application, Wuala is not bound by the limits of web-based solutions which makes Wuala much more responsive and allows for improved efficiency. The time you need to create a new folder and insert some files is only limited by how fast you can handle the mouse.Experience· StreamingMedia files such as videos or music can be streamed directly. No waiting until it is downloaded. Just lean back and enjoy.· SlideshowWuala has no constraints regarding file size or quality. One of the obvious advantages is that your friends can upload photos in full quality for you to enjoy as a full screen slideshow. Being fully integrated into the operating system, Wuala can make use of the gorgeous slideshow feature of the system itself.· NotificationsStay on top of what your friends are uploading - you get a notification whenever they share new files with you. That's like mini-feeds in Facebook, just for files.Links and more· Share foldersSharing files with friends could not be simpler: Select a folder in Wuala and choose who of your friends can access it. Or share a folder by password and send a link plus password by email or in an instant message.· Link to your filesAfter making a file public, everyone can access that file. You can then copy the link of the file and post it anywhere to point people to your latest pictures, scientific paper or freeware application. Or link to your files from MySpace, Facebook, etc. Reasons why this program is marked as ad-supported: · Displays advertisement banners
