After more than 3 years of development our buddies from wuala successfully launched the beta version of their social online storage system. Their revolutionary web-desktop-combi-machine basically allows you to dump and share files with the world. But there are a few things that really make wuala stand out: All data is encrypted on the user's computer (not even wuala can decrypt the data) and split into fragments which then are stored on in the peer-to-peer grid and redundantly on wuala's servers. In terms of social features, the service offers file sharing, shared folders, groups, public folders, comments, notifications, and chat. And if this sounds like a sales pitch, it's because it is :) Register for Wua.la today!
