It would be great to be able to share my online quota with my friends or my groups
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

Inappropriate?I don't like this idea, since it makes the "share to recieve" idea behind Wuala a litte bit weak...
I guess sooner or later you will be able to buy storage anyway - so it would be not very wise for the developers to maybe get some internal competitors who sell/rent storage for others at lower prices (you only need the big space once - if you uploaded all your files you could as well stop sharing unless you need more space in the future)!
But I like the idea of donating storage to a group (it might only get problematic if you decide to leave that group and want your storage back...) - that way let's say 5 friends could donate 1 GB each to a group and then let the Admin/Moderator upload a Linux-image there, even though each of them only had 2 GB space! -
Inappropriate?I do definitely like this idea and aditionally, I don't share your concern.
If Wuala wants to sell storage, they cannot just take that storage from the network. nor could anybody else. In fact I don't like the whole idea of selling storage but if in fact it does come, I don't think there is a way to more feasably to provide storage at a lower price than wuala itself UNLESS ofcourse it is way overpriced which would in itself already bring down the idea of the share and get.
because in fact if you actually want to pay and get, there is no point in going to wuala because there is incredibly cheap VERY fast webservers available at a very low cost already (speak 2.5gb/100mbit/domain @ 24€/YEAR). Now while i already have my doubts about wuala being able to compete with the price (which might be possible) there is NO way that wuala could possibly compete with the features of a such a webserver. Unless you completely change the software and make this a webserver client rather than a p2p online space sharing program.
