Wuala - Daten über Browser uploaden
Wo legt Wuala seine Dateien ab, wenn es nur über den Browser gestartet wird?
Meine Frage geht in folgende Richtung: Nehmen wir an, ich starte Wuala über den Browser in der Firma. Von dort lade ich Dateien hoch. Selbstverständlich möchte ich nicht, daß auf dem Firmenrechner irgendwelche "Backups" oder "Cache-Dateien" zurückbleiben.
Wie kann ich sicherstellen, daß hochgeladene Dateien nicht auf der Festplatte zurückbleiben?

Inappropriate?english dude:
everything you load into the wuala application (and thus wuala network) becomes encrypted. so all the files that stay on your physical machine regarding wuala are crypted and people cant tell what kind of files you have pushed into wuala.
ofcourse you need to delete/erase/securely your original files that were the original source of your upload process into wuala too.
its nothing new though. it has been like this since the first day of wuala.
wonder why you keep asking this. -
Inappropriate?Not so fast, dude. I guess there will always be some kind of "cache". If I upload files from an encrypted USB-drive... will Wua.la leave no traces behind on the harddisk, where JAVA is installed? -
Inappropriate?why does it matter if people know that you have run/started wuala? is it really that what you are afraid about?
people will never be able to tell what you have been putting into wuala or getting out of it (as long as you delete the unencrypted original files on the local system ofcourse).
everything that goes into wuala is crypted. also the cached files, the part-files, the chunk-files, metadata everything.
your password is the only thing that will allow others to look into your wuala account. everything else is the public/world area only.
but still, all the files that wuala works with (data storate files) are encrypted. no matter if world/public area or not. there are no normal filenames or normal files regarding datastorage. everything has very long cryptic hash-like filenames and is split up into a lot of smaller part-file and everything is encrypted.
nobody can tell whats inside those files.
as for running wuala, if you running it from a webbrowser (java applet as of today, august 14th, 2008) people will ofcourse see your webbrowser cache files, url/history, favourites or see in proxies (corporate environment, internetserviceprovider) that you have been visiting the wuala website and downloaded the wuala webstarter (jar files and so on....)
you cant really hide the fact that you have been using wuala unless you work in a completely encrypted environment, maybe such as working with truecrypt or in a virtualized crypted operating system and so on....
good luck with paranoidea ;)
