Also if folder share goes offline (like the "plays 4 sure" DRM Servers) there goes your data!
AND it's not encrypted, afaik.
AND it's rather limited in size.
AND it might not always be free of charge (I don't really trust Microsoft in this case, and I certainly would NOT upload any sensitive files to their servers! Possibly unencrypted!)
AND it's a "Windows Live" Service... no Linux, no OS-X, no Unix, no Solaris, no ...

Wuala however has also it's downsides for business cases too, butbetter support for this might be an option for 2009 or 2010 and Wuala 2.0 or something (the Open Source version ;-) ) but definetly not for Alpha or (early) Beta!

Most companies have *one* huge fileserver and 200+ computers...

The fileserver has like 2TB storage.. but if you add the 200+ computers with an average of 80gb free space... that makes a whole lot more :)

I'd propose that to my fellow IT staff :)

May sound too critical and I really like wuala ́s idea: But for the above mentioned business use: This is what I use windows folder share for and it works perfectly for me. It justs synchs specified folders between different computers in the background, whenever I am near the internet. Like this I can have the same data on the server, my laptop, can share a folder with my colleague without having to even think of pressing any synch-button. The only disadvantage might be, that I can only access the data from specified PCs but for business use, this is just fine. (And up to now, this service is free of charge.)

So if wuala should expand into business cases, I think there is strong competition out there! But I am not a technician, so there might be some weak points in windwows folder share ;-)
