There is no package or installation routine, but the Linux client is in an Alpha stage anyway. The Linux client is provided as a tar.bz package and at the moment still has to be copied to a local folder. Wuala itself comes along with a graphical Java client interface for Linux, MacOS and Windows. I would really prefer especially such a program to be open source, or at least open source in all important bits like encryption. Therefore it is hard to say how strong the encryption really is. Unfortunately, the program is closed source (also see below) and there are no further details on that matter.

All encryption and decryption is performed locally and your password is never sent to us – so not even we can access your files. You can also “earn” additional space by inviting other users, and I guess in future you might be able to buy additional storage.Īccording to the web page, your data are encrypted locally and therefore cannot be viewed by other clients as long as you don’t allow it:Īll files you store are encrypted such that only you and those authorized by you can access them. In this regard the approach reminds a bit of Freenet which also defines your upload space by the space you provide to the network afaik. However, if you provide some space for other people’s files on your hard disk you also get more space on the network – given that your network connection allows incoming connections and that your computer is online most of the day.

All data is saved redundant so that you most likely always have the possibility to download your data from everywhere else as long as the Wuala network has no major breakdown.Ĭurrently the amount of data you are allowed to upload is 1 GB. When you mark your data for upload they are splitt into small parts, encrypted and afterwards uploaded to the other clients of the network (including some big servers of the company behind the project). The interesting advantage of Wuala compared to usual file sharing applications is the fact that every user can first define which user or group is allowed to see which content, and that you don’t have to be connected to the net to offer your friends the option to download your stuff.

The program was now released as a Linux version.

Wuala is a mixture of a classical online storage solution and a file sharing application: you can share your data with logged in users or entire groups while all your data are uploaded to a p2p net – even when you’re not connected.
