Whether that is enough to lift it over some of its competitors remains to be seen, however, as some users will surely have some privacy concerns about the distributed storage solution. Currently, Wuala’s users are storing almost 30 million files on the service and this web interface is surely going to increase the popularity of the service. Wuala is operating in a crowded market, with other services like drop.io or Box.net offering a lot of the same functionality without having to use a desktop application. LaCie Setup Assistant LaCie Backup Assistant (PC and Mac), 10GB Wuala Secure Online Storage (1 year included) The LaCie Minimus USB 3. Wuala also lets you share files privately over the web by providing you with a ‘ secret‘ URL to your files. So far I’m not convinced completey of the trustworthyness of the WUALA solution. However, you can’t actually manage your shared files from the web interface. In that sense I would prefer if WUALA would open its code for review by renowned specialists. It is also great for sharing public documents and videos. It also offers LaCie’s NAS OS 3.0, which is aimed at simplifying user setup and management.
#Wuala review pro#
We really like the ability of Wuala to work as a great photo sharing site thanks to the new web interface. The LaCie 5big NAS Pro has a durable aluminum build, supports 5 drives with multiple RAID-types and supports scalability for up to 50 simultaneous users. The new web interface turns Wuala into a capable file sharing service, though it has a few limitations. In addition, for each gigabyte on your hard drive that you offer to other users, you get another gigabyte of cloud storage in return. The first gigabyte is free, while 10 additional gigabyte cost $25 per year. Wuala also offers a more traditional cloud storage product. Users who share a larger part of their hard drives are rewarded with more cloud storage. Wuala also implemented an API that will allow developers to to hook into Wuala’s storage services.Īs we pointed out in our initial review of the service, Wuala uses the computers of other users to store a large part of the data on the service. Now, however, you can also use a web interface to access Wuala. Until today, you had to use Wuala’s desktop application to use the service and access your files. Wuala is a versatile tool that you can access anywhere. In other words, the application provides a revolutionary way of storing, sharing and publishing files on the world wide web. In short, Wuala is a free desktop software utility especially developed for secure online storage purposes.
