Anniversary Release: Backup, File Versioning and Co.
Nearly one year after launching our public beta, we're proud to present our brand new features:
Backup (pro feature)
You can now choose a source folder on your computer and sync it to Wuala. Everything that you store or change in that folder will be automatically be uploaded to Wuala. Just go to File > New Backup Folder and choose a folder on your hard drive. To define the settings, rightclick (control-click on the Mac) on the backup folder and choose "Backup Settings".
File Versioning (pro feature)
You can now open previous versions of a file. Click on the file and go to File > Open previous version. As soon as you have chosen a previous version, you can move the slider at the bottom to see how your files looked like on a specific date.
Restore Deleted Files
Don't ever worry about accidentally deleting a file on Wuala. From now on, every file you delete, will be automatically moved to the Trash. If you need it again, you can simply go to the Trash, rightclick (control-click on the Mac) on the file and select "Restore".
Invite Friends and Earn Space
Pretty simple: Invite your friends and earn extra storage. For every friend you invite, you get 250 MB additional online storage. If you're a Pro user, you even get 500 MB. Furthermore, you're also helping your friend, because he or she starts off with 2 GB, instead of 1 GB.
Trade Storage
We've now made it a lot easier to trade storage: Your computer has to be online for at least 4 hours a day.

Thanks to the whole Wuala team! This is just about the greatest leap mankind has ever made ;-D
@LifeScientology You're welcome! :-)
Nice, but it would be better if you integrate an clean deinstaler for Wuala. Delete the necessary files manual sucks.
Wow. WOW. WOW!!! I thought many times how nice a backup feature would be - and here it is! This is really great, guys. Thanx a lot!!!
I will go and invite many more friends now!
Why does the new users get 2GB while us who are the loyal old users get only 1GB. Shouldn't we also be upgraded to 2GB ? Or as hack should I close this account and become a new one, but that would be a work around ! Will appreciate if the old users get the same treatment as the new ones, if not more ! :)

Happy birthday and thank you a lot for this useful software.
Reza just hit the nail on the head. The 2GB stuff is not clear. Anyway, it sounds good that we could have more free and non-traded space.
damn, that is nice!
Now I can recommend Wuala to my friends!
Thank you Wuala.
Hope that you will surprise me (and not only me) in that way many times in the future! :)
PS, I LOVE YOU, for supporting my OS of choice - Linux :)
Great Job!
This rocks. I've been waiting for this for a looong time. Looking forward to bugging you with test reports ;)
I really appreciate the new features!
I have been using Wuala for quite a while, and it has steadily been improving is quality and features.
As I "donate" disk space on my home server, the 2GB is not an issue for me, but I do support existing users getting that level of storage.
I would also recommend/suggest that the Backup feature be made available to
