Exciting news: Wuala merges with LaCie
Luzius and I are thrilled to announce that we're joining forces with LaCie, one of the leading manufacturers of external storage devices.
Why LaCie? We believe it's the perfect match! Wuala stands for innovative online storage, while LaCie has become a synonym for premium quality and well-designed external storage hardware in the past 20 years. By combining our core competences, we’re able to create new, exciting products which offer the convenience of fast local access and backup as well as the versatility of online storage. Together we will realize the vision we embarked on more than four years ago while researching the basics of Wuala at the ETH Zurich: to build a reliable and secure cloud storage by integrating millions of devices around the world.
What will happen now? Wuala will continue as it is. All of us will stay with the company and we'll remain in downtown Zurich. The merger with LaCie not only gives us new operational resources, but also plentiful new ideas which we could never have realized as a pure software company. We’ll keep you in the loop for sure!
Got some burning questions? Read our special Wuala-LaCie-FAQ and don't hesitate to post your questions in our forum or just email us directly. We're eager to know what you think.
We're excited about the future of Wuala and we'd be glad to have you on board on this inspiring future journey. Be part of something groundbreaking and help us supply the world with the most fascinating storage solution ever! Thanks for your support.
Dominik, Luzius, and the Wuala team

Please please remove the Lacie Logo's it's so irritating. Especially the one in Wuala itself.
Congrats! Just hope this doesn't mean that LaCie will start charging more for the online storage and the freedom of Wuala is over... :/
All that the big companies want is more money...
Yeah, pwned by a french company.
The french are world renowned for their internet freedom and privacy.
Three strikes in a product .. what more can you ask for?
And their president is a real friend of P2P.
