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 ;-)

Don't worry about you files, there is always a backup on our servers so they won't disappear.

A comment on the problem "Upload Probleme" in Wuala:

diese aussage ist definitiv falsch, wie ich unten schon schrieb ist laut dem forums eintrag der 4GB bug schon seit etwa vier monaten behoben. habe es durch ständiges neustarten des programms geschafft. hat so halt über vier tage gedauert und ist noch in arbeit ausgeartet. mein problem ist halt das es immer wieder stehen bleibt und dann auch aus der uploadliste verschwindet, daher kann ich den upload nicht vortsetzen. programm beenden, warten bis es aus dem taskmanger verschwunden ist, neu starten und nach 2-5min. gehts wieder weiter. – wxi_, on June 06, 2008 18:20

vielen dank, für die schnellen antworten.
ich habe mich natürlich schon im forum umgesehen und dort las ich das der bug schon seit ca. vier monaten monaten beseitig wäre.

und wie gesagt es funkitniert ja bis auf die tatsache das ich das programm immer wieder neu starten muss, bin mitlerweile bei über 70%.

aach. die platten sind doch schnell von fat32 auf ext3 umformatiert.

Roger replied on June 06, 2008 06:49 to the problem "Upload Probleme" in Wuala:

Ich denke nicht. Das Problem ist erkannt nur lässt sich das nicht so schnell beheben da es einige nicht ganz triviale Änderungen erfordert. Ich denke aber, dass dies bis zur Beta behoben ist.

I believe, but may be mistaken that they use private public key encryption on the update.

I just created my Wuala account and it was quite explicit in telling me that passwords can't be retrieved.

bagelcat replied on May 27, 2008 05:29 to the question "how to password retrieve or reset?" in Wuala:

and... to pick again in that wound. It make sense to read the faq of a service before using it. Just look at the website roger has given. It is written very very cleary in the decription of wuala that your password cannot be restored..

heh you live in a strange world i guess.

the basic thing with secrets is, that they are no secrets at all if others can tell you about it.

always consider your password as a really personal thing. if you ever consider passwords or such elementary things "retrievable" you dont even need them in the first place.

get over it. you dont need password protection, as you dont consider your passwords important enough to even remember them.

why locking your homes door and then throwing away the key, and later worrying about how you get into the house, any why anyone else doesnt produce a key replica to let you into your own home.

so i guess its pretty useless to lock your door in the beginning.

think again.

Like most important things in life is to remember wau.la password. and If is not retrievable then it then SOMEONE should communicate that fact clearly. Okay

Anyway I hope this talk may help someone
