Wuala

Wuala is a free social online storage which allows users to securely store, backup, and access files from anywhere and to share files easily with friends, groups, and the world. It is essentially a peer-to-peer file storage and sharing system. The service stores a user’s files in multiple pieces, encrypted on multiple hard drives, anywhere on the Internet.

Fragments of your files are stored on other people’s hard drives in an encrypted form. In return they get the same service. They can’t see the fragments of your files, you can’t see theirs. Not even Wuala can see them, since encryption and decryption is performed locally and a member’s password is never sent to Wuala.

Wuala comes as an application for Windows, Mac, and Linux that can also be directly started from within the browser.
