Trade local disk space

Wuala allows you to trade idle local disk space on your computer for online storage. As an example, you could trade 100 GB on your computer and get up to 100 GB of additional online storage in return. You get whatever you provide on your computer multiplied by your online time. In the example above, you would get 70 GB of additional online storage if you're online 70% of the time. Clearly, this doesn't give you extra storage, but it changes the quality of your storage - you can access your files from anywhere, make an off-site backup, and easily share files among friends and in groups.

There is only one requirement you have to fulfill in order to be able to trade storage:

• You need to be online for at least 4 hours a day.

If you think you meet this criterion, go to the preferences in Wuala (Tools > Options > Trade Storage for Windows/Linux or Wuala > Preferences > Trade Storage for Mac). Enable trading and choose how much disk space you want to provide.
