Wuala Blog

Just in time for the Holidays we've introduced a brand new feature: Weblinks for private groups!

With this it is even easier to let others - who do not have a Wuala account or are not members of the group - access the files in the browser and have them join the group instantly.

Follow the instructions below in order to give your private group a secret weblink:

1. Go to My Groups and click on the action wheel. Choose New Group.
2. Give your group a name.
3. Click on Private and enable the option Web access through secret weblink. If you choose not to enable this option the group will not have a weblink and can only be accessed through the Wuala client. Please note that once you have chosen this option, you cannot change it later on.
4. If you want friends who do not have a Wuala account join the group, check the following box: The weblink allows to access and join the group. If you only want to grant access to non-members of the group, then select the box The weblink allows to access the group.
5. Click on Create.
6. Send the weblink to your friends and invite them to the group. By clicking on the link, your friends can access the content of the group instantly.

Unsure what kind of a group you should create? Why don't you....

...create a group for your family and collect all Christmas pictures and videos
...create a group for studying and upload summaries and exercises
...create a group for your association in order to securely store and backup your important files
