Wuala Cloud Storage Offers Preview Access Week

When we interviewed Wuala founder and CEO Dominik Grolimund, we asked him to explain what Wuala is. Dominik explained, "Wuala is a new way of storing, sharing, and publishing files on the internet. Unlike traditional online storage systems, Wuala is decentralized and can harness idle resources of participating computers to build a large, secure, and reliable online storage. This enables its users to trade parts of their local storage for online storage and it allows us to provide a better service for free."

Check out our interview and the Wuala product page for more technical details about the Wuala service.

Wuala will be opening up their service on August 14 but they are opening up the closed alpha for a sneak preview beginning today through July 21.

Wuala will demo their service live at the big TechCrunch party in Switzerland this evening. We will (most likely) have a reporter at the event and will provide photos and videos once the event has concluded.
