Wuala: Safe Online Storage
Ktipp, the Swiss magazine devoted to possible concerns of consumers, published a solid article about online storage in general.
Their findings: Online storage is a nice alternative to external hard drives or flash keys with the advantage of sharing data with friends, having access to the data from anywhere and being abe to access previous versions of a file. However, not all online storage services are safe: Files should first be encrypted on the computer, before they are uploaded to the servers. If this is not the case, the online storage provider has complete access to data of the user.
Here Ktipp mentions some of the services that are 'partly safe' (left) and some that are are 'safe' (right). We are proud to see that Wuala has been mentioned as a 'safe service'. Just to repeat: With Wuala all your data gets encrypted on your computer before it is uploaded to the Wuala-Network and to our servers. This means that you have full control over your files and none of us - not even our developers - can see your private files.
