I've recently received an e-mail saying "effective DECEMBER 31, 2014, we will be terminating all existing free storage", so even old users will have to pay.

FYI Wuala are no longer offering free 5GB accounts. As of June 11 they have switched to a pay-only service. The 5GB plan is now 1 Euro/month.

I'm duplicating the comment I've made on the Dropbox page as it turns out to be quite a review, now that It's written! ;-) "For anyone concerned about privacy, Wuala seems to be totally secure: the password is created and stored client side and the encryption is done client side too. Indeed, when you create your account, you do it through the app (not on a website), and you're told that if you forget it there's no way to recover it! Your files are stored in 3 different countries in good old Europe, far from the greedy eyes of Big Brother NSA & co. ;-) I'm just starting to use it: it may not be as well integrated in the Finder as Dropbox, but I think it's more a question of habit (a virtual disk appears when you launch the app and is closed when you quit the app), and it's for obvious security matters. It needs testing as it's a kind of outsider, but it's owned bye LaCie, a token of credibility, I'd say."

I have to offset "normbs" 1/2 star rating a little. I have to admit I never looked in the manual. To "sync", just press on "New", choose Sync and choose a Wuala and a Local Folder to sync. I agree that Dropbox is easier to use, but Data is only encrypted on Dropbox Servers and Dropbox has the key, so they can decrypt it if they like. Wuala encrypts on the client, and Wuala has no key - so it's a lot safer. Wuala claims they could not decrypt, well, there is no proof this is true but it should be safer than Dropbox. Their servers are in switzerland and france, so they are not under the us "patriot act", which is important especially in europa, because basically it is illegal to put any privat data from other people (clients, friends...) on a server where the US government could spy at if they like in most european countries. Also, you can sync any folder you like at any location, not only a Dropbox folder. Besides Syncing, Wuala also offers the possibility to backup folders. And then, many LaCie Harddiscs offer promotion codes which give you free extra storage. So all in all, I think it's worth to look at, even if I have to agree that the interface could be improved and dropbox is a lot simpler.
