Note that this is a very useful feature but you should not abuse it, as if everyone did so the performance would eventually decrease for all users. Of course you can immediately share a bigger portion of your disk instead, and decrease it with time.Īs an example, I spent one month away from my desktop, which was left off, and my space went down to about 20 G, with 43G of saved data! So it's not a problem if you switch off your machine for a long time, of course you need to wait an equally long time when you switch it on again, in order to get back to your usual disk space. I don't know how long this can be, but on the site they claim they will never erase your data. The only thing that changes is that you cannot add anything until you get back to having some free space left. 1 selling point!!!Īnother cool feature of sharing disk for getting space: if you leave your computer off, your space decreases (obviously), but your data is not erased, even if your space becomes too small for it, and it's always readable. Wuala offeres very useful features like streaming, cross-platform compatibility, group sharing, but they should really do something about their nr. I've tried to do that multiple times of different days but the feature didn't work properly so I never managed to download all my files, so I've lost an unknown number of them! And what about users that use their service but rarely log in?Īlso, you can't even share files with a custom password! Secure link sharing they call it, don't let me laugh!
#Wuala review update
They recently wanted to perform an update to their filesystem and forced users to download a part of their files and re-upload them.

The next biggest problem is that they have proven to be very unreliable for storage on the long term.
#Wuala review code
Also their auto-login feature for in their app is also insecure, the pin code doesn't improve much. But they were not interested (at the moment) because "they didn't see the need for it" because they never noticed anyone getting keylogged (in whatever way they can check that). I've sent them a suggestion to implement something like a keyfile like Keepass does or a two-factor login system because passwords could easily get keylogged. But security is as strong as the password. Wuala claims to be very secure and they gave me that feeling, especially after having read about their implementation. I've been a Wuala user from the beginning and I used to be very satisfied but things have changed.
