![]() Instead of *just* having the option of buying storage, Wuala gives you the option to _share_ a bit of my local drive space as a way to earn more Wuala storage. * A pro account gives you automated backups, sync, and file versioning.īy far my favourite feature of Wuala is the '()' model for getting extra storage space. In groups, the sharing is a bit like a poor man's Basecamp, as comments are enabled on everything and there's a nifty little notification when a new comment is posted. * Sharing is super-simple and can be done through sharing links or groups. * Even though the desktop application is written in Java, it's responsive, full-featured, and actually kind of fun to use because of the way that sharing works. Having used Wuala for a week now, here's what I really like: Git or Gitorious storage open source software The runner-ups, IMHO, would be SpiderOak and SparkleShare (h/t to for the later). Many thanks to Elijah for the introduction to Wuala. Feel free to let me know if I’ve got something wrong, or if I’ve missed a service entirely. I have not personally confirmed the claims around security, or encryption on mobile devices, for example. Some I’ve tried in the past, some I tried this week, and with some I just simply reviewed their FAQs and support forums for answers to my questions. Basic iOS and Android clients: nothing fancy, just access to the files (ideally read/write) and using the same kind of encryption as the desktop client.Īdmittedly, I’ve done a very, very cursory review of the following services.Priced reasonably for storage: ideally with an invite code, referral program, or other ways to ‘earn’ storage.Finder / OS integration: It has to be easy to use, and work like any other folder or mounted drive.Share: I must admit, I don’t use the share stuff as much as I could, but being able to share a folder or a file with a person, or a team, is a great feature.I don’t want to have to remember to move things in or out of something. If you want “real” security, encrypt your own files or don’t store them in the cloud.) And, if you don’t use the Web site, theoretically there’s no copy of they key. (Some will say that most services need to cache the key if you sign-in through a Web site, but at least they might not keep it kicking around. Encryption in transit and on the remote disk. ![]()
