Recently active ideas in Wuala tagged with files

I'm not sure if this is on the todo list, but I think it should be. It would rock to have web access to my wuala files. Then I could, for example, access my files from any university machine without installing the wuala software on it. I know some places are ridiculously locked down, so that you can't install anything, so a browser-based solution would work well.

Ideally, I could just go to http://wua.la/ , type in my username/password and it would take me to an SSL-encrypted listing of my files. It doesn't have to be anything fancier than that.

Maybe in some distant future, you would also provide an API for accessing data on wua.la?

hi guys,

what about rss feeds for the groups? is this planned / possible?

thanks

Hi,
ich hätte da eine idee bzw einen Vorschläg. Wäre es nicht möglich ein Programm für Linux zu schreiben mit welchem man Resourcen auf einem Rechner freigeben kann.
Die einstellungsmöglichkeiten sollten für Dateigröße, Uploadgeschwinddigkeit sowie ordnerfreigabe, Portwahl und eine Begrenzung für die Verbindungen wären sehr schön und würden reichen (bei der Ordnerfreigabe müsste es auch möglich sein verschiedene Ordner freizugeben (falls man beispielsweise mehrere Festplatten hat).

Falls es so ein Programm berreits geben sollte sorry ich hab ́s nicht gefunden ;)

Request Feature

Hi

it would be awesome if wuala let the admin or/and mods know who uploaded something to the group... ok, you can see it on every single file who uploaded it, but thats very time intensive if there are much files :)
some groups dont like leecher, and this would help i guess....
maybe also a new role (automatic) for uploaders...

thx

It would be nice if in the status area (Where it shows transactions, Encrypting status, etc.) it would show what the application is doing. Like "Uploading mycooltestfile.txt (48%)" and "Maintaining mycoolmusic.mp3 (99%) - 239 Files Remaining"

I think it would be a great idea that everybody could share more files with his friends than his space would allow.
This could work this way: Every user could have an "offers"-folder in wich he stuffs all the files he wants to share with certain persons or groups.
Then only the filenames and hashes are saved, not the files themselves.
If files the user offers already exist in the wuala network, they could be "linked" to the file without being substracted from the users space contingent.
The more important idea is that people could "download" the file offers this way:
A friend clicks on the offered file, then the file is automatically uploaded by the user who offers the file and stored in the wuala network as soon as he or she signs on in the wuala network.

What do you think about this idea? Please share your thoughts by commenting this entry.

Es wäre toll, wenn ich in den Einstellungen Ordner oder Dateien auf der lokalen Platte auswählen kann, die zu einem einstellbarem Intervall syncronisiert werden.

So könnte man jeden Abend ein Backup vom "Homefolder" machen.

Does Wuala automatically find (by hash) and join duplicate data uploaded by different users?
This would really improve reliability and download speed and would lower the needed disk space.

Hi people,

as most of you may have recognized, when you install Wuala, your uptime is automatically set to 10%. Now the support team somewhere here posted that if you stay online for an entire day, you increase this by approximately 3%. Doing the quite simple math you will find that wuala therefore assumes 29 days of an approximate uptime of 10%. Therefore even if I have a server online 24/7/4 (i.e. 28 days), my uptime will only be 55%. I realize that that is a measure to restrict people from getting lots of online space very quickly but I find it myself very irritating and not particularly fair to those who from day 1 on contribute a server to the network with relatively good upload and a lot of space. (How good I am as a contributer my be disputed but for now, 15gb@50kbps 24h/day is definitely quite a bit)
I agree, that giving me 15gb of space (plus 1gb for basic and 1gb/invitation) is very much. Also, if every user can get almost 100% in some time, the system will never work out because you can have a maximum of 1version of a file online at the same time in the long run which effectively means that there is no rundancy and files can quite easily be offline for an entire day.

Thus my idea:

Maybe calculate 5-10days of 10% online time for people starting and instead of giving "Sharedspace"*"Uptime"="OnlineStorage" only give half the online storage in return.Or maybe 3/4.

Anways, I think that would be more fair to those who contribute a lot (setting up servers) and would also allow for more rundancy.

Last but not least I believe that nobody is seriously going to need 100% of his space back. Online space in any case is far more valuable than offline space which makes quala so interesting in the first place. Therefore I believe that you can very well only give 50%-75% of the space back and in exchage allow for higher rundancy and secured on-time.

Furthermore I would also opt to remove the local backup or at least archive the files on the servers in such a way, that the local backup is a max of 5% the total size (so it being rundancy information for the archive)

Currently I am able to trade my local space to create a greater online quota.

I'd love to be able to share my online quota with friends or groups.

For example. I share 10 gig of space. Rather than me getting 7 gig of space to use for my content, I could offer 4 gig to my family group, and 1 gig 3 of my friends

Hi everyone!

I would like to suggest more options when backing up files with the same name. Now you only have the option to rename the new file, or abort the process. Something like replace, skip, or rename by date might be helpful.

Best regards!

Hi folks,
Quite literally, what the title says. I would like to have a function which when I click on donwload allows me to select a directory to which I want to store the file (files) I have marked for the download. As addition, you could allow users to set a default directory for downloads in the options.
Thanks
