Hello all

I've been using Sky Drive for some storage and file sharing but so Wuala mentioned on Accounting Web and wondered if anyone here has used it.  It's encrypted before uploading and sounds very secure, also servers based in Switzerland, Germany and France which seems to cover Data Protection as in EU.

I'm not the most techie of people so would like other opinions if it seems suitable with a free 5GB for my small practice. (On a separate note I gained my 6th client today from an existing client referral yey!)

Jackie

Hi Jackie,

I have been using Wuala for a few weeks.  I like it because it backs up the folders on my computer rather than having to put files into their drive.  I also think that it is the best value for money choice of the various services available.

Reviews here and here.

Kind regards,

David.

Thank you David and Stuart for your replies.

The main reason I'm looking at Wuala is that it automatically encrypts so cuts out the need for something like TrueCrypt before uploading to DropBox. After reading the reviews I'll still give it a try even though I'm not all that techie as it means I can cut a step with the automatic encryption and still have the same security I'm happy - and it's free!

Kind regards

Jackie
