discussions in Wuala

Hi,

I have several NICs, some are vitual (from VPNs). Wuala picks a VPN IP as my internal address instead of my 10.x.x.x IP.

Should internal address be user configurable?

It doesn't make sense that if a folder (ex. video) is public, all subfolders must also be public! In your computer you can have a directory available for all, with a subfolder available only for you, or for a group. The opposite is of course not-sense, nobody need a closed folder with a public subfolder... :-))

Want to talk with us? Then join our first "Chat Thursday"! It's taking place today (Thursday, April 24) from 5pm to 6pm (Central European Time, GMT+1, we're based in Zurich, Switzerland) on IRC (Server: quakenet.org, Channel: #Wuala or http://irc.wua.la).

It would be great if you could join!

With one of the last releases, we have completely rebuilt the group feature. You can now post files directly into groups, add members and set roles and permissions.

If you haven't done that yet, we really encourage you to check it out. Also, if you have created a group a long time ago, at a time when only links were allowed, it might be a good idea to delete the content or the whole group and start anew.

If you have troubles deleting old groups, contact us and we will help you.

How can i change my birthdate in my profile? I just joined and picked the wrong day number,and the fields are not editable.

Ich setze eine Synology (www.synology.ch) bei mir zu Hause ein, welche im Prinizip ja den Server für mein Heimnetzwerk macht.
Nun wäre das absolut genial, wenn ich Wuala auf der Synology laufen lassen könnte, denn dort könnte ich 24h/7 Tage Speicher zur Verfügung stellen.
Weiss jemand ob das geht?

We've had some questions about translating Wuala into other languages (c.f http://getsatisfaction.com/wuala/topi...? or http://getsatisfaction.com/wuala/topi...?) and I want to clarify some things:

1) Wuala is currently being translated into Portuguese. This is the first translation being done by the community and we're confident that it will work out ;-) However, this is the first time we're doing this, so we need to gain some experience before we can go on to translating Wuala into other languages.

2) For those who are volunteering to translate Wuala into their language, please contact me (oona [at] wua.la). The reason why I am asking you to contact me is so that we have an overview of who is translating Wuala and that we can get back to you and stay in personal contact with you. This is very important for us. We are afraid that if everyone can translate that it will result into "wild translating".

Hope this is fine with you guys!

All of a sudden... if I try to give a share on one of my Wuala folders I do get the follwing errormsg:

Linux-DAU, wie erfolgt die Installation Wuala auf UBUNTU? Gibts eine einfache Beschreibung

That sounds like an alternative for those who don't have enough storage capacity in their own hard disk. But only in that case, cause Wuala emerged as an alternative to the virtual hard drives , as well as a new p2p system.

Hello!

Does anybody know how much traffic is generated when you upload 1 GB ?
Including maintaining and spreading the fragments ?

As many people would like to use Wuala for backup and have a slow upload rate due to asynchronous connections (> 1 MBit down, but most 1 MBit up) it may take a while until everything is uploaded and maintained.

Example:
Many people use Outlook with PST-files where a small change results in the backup of the complete PST-file. Also a few pictures, little music, etc. etc. - let's say a weekly change of 2-3 GB.

If a user synchronizes his data with Wuala every Sunday, is one week enough to upload and maintain all the data on Wuala before the new changes need to be uploaded the next Sunday ?

Wieso sind eigentlich mehr als 80% der Menschen die ich bisher in wuala kennenlernte linux (osx oder andere) user? Und wieso ist das apple os unter den Wuala-Usern eigentlich dermassen stark vertreten?

Stimmt mein Eindruck? Oder war das eher nur Zufall?

Und wenn es stimmt. Sagt das was üuala aus? Oder eher üen Menschenschlag der sich von so einem Dienst angezogen fü

Seltsame Gedanken zum Wochenende. Ich glaub, ich setz mich jetzt lieber in den Garten und trinke ein Bier.

Hello. I'm currently thinking about how to improve the groups in Wuala. We know that they're not good yet, so please, share your frustrations with us! We collect all ideas and try to come up with a better concept. :-)

What's bugging you? What feature do you miss most?

I recently watched the Google Tech Talk again and stumbled upon something that made me think a bit:

My current setup:
- 1 "Server" (low voltage CPU, for Wuala, Printer...) - shares storage (quite much - when do we get more than 100 GB again? :-P )
- 1 "Workstation", sometimes I use Wuala there too to upload something or to download a few files - not sharing storage
- 1 "Laptop", also not sharing space (not online long enough) but also used for downloading

According to the Tech Talk it won't help me anything to share storage other than getting more GB availabe space, even though my Server now nearly constantly uploads ~20-30 kB/s (quite a bit saved on your traffic side) and should get better download speeds because of this.
However, I can't use that speed, since I can only connect to Wuala with a different machine and access files (the "Workstation" or the "Laptop") who are not contributing anything and thus probably have a quite bad "reputation" in Wuala.

I would access the integrated filesystem on the "Server" and stream the files over the network - but at least with Windows, this is not a trivial task to do (I haven't much looked into it, but it seems quite tricky to do...).
Don't get me wrong, the download speeds are not bad on the other computers (they seem to go up and down a bit, but they nearly always get to the Max. quite fast) but maybe this might become a concern in the future.

What do you guys think? Paranoia or design flaw or error on my side (bad setup)?

Hello,

Today, I come to you with some UI questions. Let me first tell you that we don't think the current UI is the end of the line and that in the long run, we'd like to have a completely new, super dooper UI :-) However, sometimes you can't change things in one day or night and have to make do with small, incremental changes. After quite a few people came to me with very similar usability problems, I thought it's time for some small changes :-) So here we go...

Recurring problems/questions:

1. Where is the "navigate up" button? Where is the "back" button? People are used to have it on the top left of their browser. This was also suggested by jhancock in the Satisfaction forum some time ago: http://getsatisfaction.com/wuala/topi...
2. How do I create a new folder etc.
3. When is an action (actions are the hyperlink commands in the header and the details pane, such as "New folder", "Download", "Recommend to friend" etc.) in the header, when in the details pane. There is a logic behind it (header = current context/folder, details pane = current item/selection). However, actions are sometimes very similar (e.g., "Download all" in the header, "Download" in the details pane) so that is confusing.

Suggestions:

Have a look at http://wua.la/Dominik/Public/Wuala/Sm...

- Version A, B or C (provided by jhancock)
- A new little "tools" button similar to the Mac finder, which basically opens the context menu (right click), so that you have all applicable actions in one place.
- Discard all "redundant actions" in the header and details pane (so that "download" would only be in the details pane), OR discard all actions completely.
- Mid-term: Make header and details pane smaller
- Long-run: Completely new UI (we've got ideas, but nobody to implement them) :-)

Version A, B, C don't look so nice. What could I do to make them look a bit nicer?

What usability problems do you have?

Please give me your feedback.

Thanks.

Dominik

Todays update brings a few changes to the filesystem integration, see
http://wua.la/Luzius/Documents/Wuala/...
The main change is that Wuala now shows a listing in the mounted network share and gets mounted as W: under windows. This enables accessing your files with your systems file browser. You have no write access (yet), but it might still be useful. Generally, the W: approach gives much better system integration, but only allows for a very limited feature set. What do you think? Do you like it? Do you prefer the Wuala browser window? When? When not?
