When I try to upload I get a small window with "Adding files to 'Documents'" and a progress bar, but nothing else happens:

how i can uninstall wuala...??i have installed in the pc of my girlfriend but now she d ont want anymore..
i can t found any uninstaller,and also with the vista uninstaller wuala is not present.....hilfeeeee

The design of this forum has changed a few days ago. For my opinion, t wasnt very easy to find topics and read it before. But now, this forum is less readable then before (for me). And with very long loading times too. It ist really not nice to use it.

Sorry, a little bit offtopic maybe. ;) I usually _like_ it to uses forums to discuss great programms and have done it also here for a while. But it is just confusing me, when I try to read here..

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

Is it possible to access the Wuala Drive via FTP/HTTP instead of the Wuala program so that e.g. Webservers are able to download the files?

From wuala website: "The idea behind Wuala is not to give you more storage in total...". I'am a little bit disappointed because I expected some "space bonus". If I remember well, in former versions the formula for calculation of earned space was OnlineTime * LocalSpace * 10.

can i se who download my world files?

Finally, we've created a Wuala group in Wuala :) We'll add some content there over the next weeks. To start with, we have blog and press reviews, faq, photos, and the release notes (the new place for changelogs :). What else would you like to see there?

Most importantly, however, the group is for you to participate. You can post bugs, screenshots and ideas directly into the appropriate folder. We'll check them frequently (hey, after all, we get a green notification ;-) and copy urgent ones over into our internal Wuala group.

Once the group has interesting content (and ones the UI scales for groups to have thousands and thousands of members), we will notify all users. For now, we don't push it.

Sometimes I lost my wuala trayicon (this happens when something is wrong with explorer.exe), the only cure is restarting wuala. But currently I can only exit wuala by right-clicking on wuala's trayicon and choosing "Exit".

Can you add "Exit" somewhere in wuala's GUI, preferably under "User" menu, next to "Close"?

Or, if you prefer, add a feature that fixes missing trayicon, I think you can do that by deleting then re-adding the trayicon.

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.

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!

I started this just to clear a few things out. I like to control the size of my Wuala folder and the amount of traffic that Wuala generates but currently I don't understand any of them.

I'm a bit confused about what happens when I drag a file into wuala. This is what I think that happens:
- the file is copied into cache
- the file is uploaded
- the file can be removed from the cache if I click the 'clear cache' button
Wuala also remembers the file location and modification date, so if I want to access a file that isn't in cache but it's still at its original location, I don't need to re-download it.

So, I have a few of questions. First: who maintains my files? I thought that the files were maintained by the Wuala server but the 'Show Maintenance' button in the uploads window still shows some files that are maintained by me.
Second, how can I maintain files if I have no local backup of them?Are they only maintained if I have them in cache?
Third, why does my Wuala folder have 300 MB if I just cleared the cache?

And finally, is that anonymous maintenance stuff coming or what? :)

Thanks

Who else had a picture of pedobear in his/her/its newsletter? :D

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.

Todays update adds direct write access. This allows you to directly edit files stored in Wuala. The only requirements are that filesystem integration must be running and you have write access to the files you want to edit. Share your experiences about write access here.

Hello,

We wanted to let you guys know first that with one of the next releases, we will have (more prominent) ads in Wuala. For all Swiss users there will be a skyscraper on the right. Currently, we are paid per click, in the long run, the model will switch to pay per view.

For all others, Amazon ads will be displayed, but only in the public area. The model is pay per conversion, meaning that we only get money if one of you buys a book/CD/DVD on Amazon.

Here's a screenshot of how the ads will look like:

We hope you don't mind too much. Please remember that this is how we hope to generate revenue. In the long run, we also want to sell storage / premium services, but for the time being, ads will be our only source of revenue.

Share your thoughts, we'd like to know how you feel about this. Thanks for your understanding!

Best,
Dominik

Ok, das hier ist vermutlich ein halbes Jahr oder so zu früer vielleicht interessiert es ja den einen oder anderen Entwickler so sehr, dass er/sie/es sich mal da dran setzt und ein Privatprojekt draus macht oder so...

Also:
Wuala ist eine (in meinen Augen) nahezu ideale Lög um Dateien im Internet zuverläig, performant und sicher abzulegen.

Wie wä es mit einer LAN-Edition (vielleicht auch füchäskunden?) die in einem gröen lokalen Netzwerk lät?
Möche Features:

- einen/mehrere groß Fileserver einrichten, aber Dateien die als "wichtig" markiert sind (oder z.B. Dateien die "jü als x Tage sind, alle Dateien, Dateien die ör aufgerufen werden...) werden auch üas Netzwerk verteilt gespeichert um Ausfäe unmöch zu machen, freie Ressourcen besser zu nutzen und die Serverlast zu verringern.

- von Wuala booten wird eher schwierig, aber man köe zumindest Benutzerkonten + Programme (Thinstall!) auf einer virtuellen Festplatte statt auf einem zentralen Server ablegen

- Fileserver üupt abschaffen/nur noch fükups nutzen wäend der 0815 Traffic von den Workstations selbst geregelt wird

- füchtfirmenumgebungen" (z.B. daheim): auf jedem der eigenen PCs ein Laufwerk bieten, das ül verfüund performant ist - Anwendungsmöchkeiten wän CD-Sicherungen, Musiksammlungen, DVD-Sicherungen - eigentlich alles was man auch auf einem Fileserver ablegen wüm von ül drauf zuzugreifen.

Generell wüuala eine Art RAID5 ü Netzwerk verteilt bieten, wo es nicht drauf ankommt dass die Festplatten gleich großsind etc. und selbst die popelige alte 10 GB-IDE Platte guten Gewissens noch ins Speichersystem eingebaut werden kann - die Dateien sind ja dank Erasurecodes auch beim Ausfall einer Platte noch relativ sicher und kön dann von Wuala automatisch bis zur "gesunden" Verteilung wieder verteilt werden.

Natü brähte man da schon einiges an Umschreibearbeit, z.B. wä es ja auch fein von außn (z.B. OpenVPN) in das lokale Wualanetz reinzukommen und ich hoffe doch, dass "InternetWuala" derzeit Prioritähat aber diese Idee ist mir mal gekommen und ich fand es schon recht verfüsch einen RAID üAN mit verschiedenen PLattengrö zu realisieren!

Vielen Dank füesen und schö Tag noch!
Kommentare, Ideen, Kritik (und vielleicht ne Üersetzung fü englischsprachigen Kollegen) sind natü gern gesehen.

File system integration is a great feature. It allows to directly access and stream large files before they are completely downloaded and is the basis of the planned write access. Unfortunately, it is hard to make it work reliably on Windows. Often, it takes one or two minutes until Windows can connect to the Wuala drive. The latest update brings some improvements and compatibility with 64-Bit systems (read below on how I could made it work on my 64-Bit Vista SP1). I'll link from the Wuala settings directly to this article so this is the right place to discuss issues and tricks on how to make it work.
