A comment on the idea "Web accessible files" in Wuala:

If Java version = webstart version: this enables you to view AND store files within Wuala. But you need an account to be able to write or store something. Anonym. access gives you only read access. – Roger, on July 21, 2008 12:39

A comment on the idea "Web accessible files" in Wuala:

I can only guess that the Java version will come with a view-only and (possibly later) with a write access version. The reason for this is that this applet is also meant to enable users who do not have your PW to be able to view your content iff you give them a link (that is as far as I can gather) – Darkstriker, on July 18, 2008 13:50

Was about to post the same thing, would you be able to download files to the local hard drive and or upload files from the local hard drive or will it be view only?

Hint: Read through the Wuala Chat logs.

iTux started following the problem "upload many Files" in Wuala.

A comment on the question "Keep Local Backup option?" in Wuala:

I have a similar situation. My cache limit is 5GB. I had 100MB used and when I clicked "Clear Cache" it turned into 3.5GB (which is the size of my Data folder). Nothing changes when I click again on "Clear Cache". – nmat, on May 18, 2008 00:14

A comment on the question "Keep Local Backup option?" in Wuala:

It seem that indeed something has changed. But now there is something else which is unclear: My cache limit is 1GB It says that 800MB are used. When I click clear cache, 0.8GB turns into 2.5Gb (???) If I then close the Options window and reopen it says 2.5GB again. If I Save the options windows, it says 800MB and does the same thing all over... That really has me confused... – Darkstriker, on May 16, 2008 09:07

A comment on the question "Keep Local Backup option?" in Wuala:

There was a bug so the cache wasn't cleared correctly. If all your files are uploaded, you can delete the local2 any time (as long as Wuala is not running). This should have the same effect as clearing the cache in the options, with the difference that clearing the cache doesn't remove files that are not uploaded yet. – Luzius, on May 16, 2008 07:08

Ciao Adi

You are right, that there is no feature "Add folder". The reason for this is that we want to avoid confusion with the option "New folder".

But you can easily upload a complete folder including subfolders by just dragging that folder from your explorer/filesystem into wuala (into the wuala window). This will upload also subfolders recursively.

Hope this helps.

Bugreport replied on May 14, 2008 07:26 to the question "Keep Local Backup option?" in Wuala:

Currently it seems as if _only_ the computer that has initially uploaded a file maintains it, no matter what's uploaded on your account and how "healthy" it is.

This might be changed with anonymous maintenace, where you won't maintain only your files, but the fragments you get from others too. This only would owrk though if the initial upload doesn't go to Caleido but to the P2P network because I doubt that "The Server" can maintain all files in the Wuala network and still be cost efficient! ;-)

nmat replied on May 14, 2008 02:33 to the question "Keep Local Backup option?" in Wuala:

What if we could choose the computer where the maintenance is made?
I'm only saying this because I would like my Desktop computer to maintain all my files. My laptop's drive isn't that big and sometimes I'm at places with limited network traffic :( Or will my desktop download and maintain all the files in need if I erase the wuala folder from my laptop?

Complet Folder Upload

Helo guys,

it's not possible to Upload a complet Folder if in this folder exist already one other. I can only Upload Files. Could you please enable this function also when in a folder already exist some folders.

PS: the filesystem-integration is not active from there i wan to upload the complet folder.

Greets Adi

Bugreport replied on May 10, 2008 07:31 to the question "Keep Local Backup option?" in Wuala:

Well I guess it's like that, otherwise you would have to re-encrypt etc. the file every time you do a maintenance upload and I personally haven't seen that happening.

nmat replied on May 09, 2008 23:05 to the question "Keep Local Backup option?" in Wuala:

I've reported this in this topic some days ago:
http://getsatisfaction.com/wuala/topi...

@Bugreport: Are you sure about that? So I just have to spread the files for a while before they go to the 'clearable' cache?

Deathbob replied on May 09, 2008 16:07 to the question "Keep Local Backup option?" in Wuala:

Wuala seems to be very stable once a file is completely uploaded.
My problem is I am having lots of trouble getting the files in wuala without them becoming zombies. 1.2GB in uploads folder from a month ago.

A comment on the question "Keep Local Backup option?" in Wuala:

I'd rather not wait for a file to stream where possible. The cache also contains files that I browse, right? My files can get bumped out of the cache if access a lot of other files? I also thought the local backup option would be useful for syncing files. If a file is inserted on one machine, it would definitely be available for quick access on another. Just my 2cents.. – paf0, on May 09, 2008 14:55

Well I am kinda running out of space slowly on my 500gb hdd... somethin like 40gb left... so yes... 3gb wasted is an amazing amount...

Bugreport replied on May 09, 2008 14:01 to the question "Keep Local Backup option?" in Wuala:

If the files are spread out enough they will be moved automatically to your cache and can be purged there afterwards.

Edit: 3,3 GB is amazing? Well you better not look at my folders then! ;-)

Darkstriker replied on May 09, 2008 14:00 to the question "Keep Local Backup option?" in Wuala:

Specifically Caleido\Wuala\Data and in there most importantly \Caleido\Wuala\Data\Local2

Data is 3.333GB and Local2 occupies some 3.225GB of that and Meta occupies some 108MB (which is not that much of a problem...)

And Wuala doesn't Upload so i have to assume that all the files have finished uploading (and the program also says that)

I cleared my Cache before checking those numbers.

System Specs:
WinXp SP3
2GB DDR
amdx2 3800+
500gb wd sata
nv7900gt

contact me if you need anything else

Darkstriker replied on May 09, 2008 13:56 to the question "Keep Local Backup option?" in Wuala:

My Data Folder Occupies some amazing 3.3GB (on my prime pc on which i dont share at all)... That is roughly equal to what I uploaded from that PC. That is why I thought that there still was a local backup...

Should I just delete the files or is there another solution?
