Wuala offers online storage with social features

Wuala is a newly launched web service which offers online storage solutions to interested web users.

Users get 1GB of free storage space. They can enhance this storage by offering local storage to the service on their own computers.

The service is ad-supported for free account users.

Dominik Grolimund, Wuala’s chief executive spoke about their service: “After more than three years of development and ten months of testing in closed alpha, we are very proud to release Wuala to the public. Our alpha users, who are storing and sharing millions of files, have given us tremendous feedback….We believe that Wuala is the right tool for millions of people to securely manage and share their files online.”

One interesting feature is that the service encrypts the user’s data on his own local machine rather than on their servers. This enhances the user privacy.
