In our February Meeting a question came up about network storage devices (NAS) for iPad and iPhones. We briefly discussed the Seagate wireless device. Here are some links to related devices. We will definitely look into this more in our April Meeting when our topic will be on “The Cloud.”

A Different kind of Secure Online Storage
In the words of Wuala : Backup. Sync. Share. Access Everywhere.
Wuala – Secure Online Storage – Backup. Sync. Share. Access Everywhere..
In the wake of the Dropbox guys dropping the ball and admitting they not be quite as secure as they had previously suggested – AND that they had changed their terms and conditions that also implies that your stuff might not be as private as you thought – Wuala – along with a couple of others are jumping on the bandwagon in a hope of denting the line.
Wuala comes from your friendly hard drive manufacturer LaCie. It is a ‘freemium’ model (first gig is free – compared to dropbox’s 2 gigs). I downloaded and installed. So far I am puzzled as to why it seems to be so slow – but also I am missing the social media aspects (or at least if they are there – I haven’t yet found them – so that I can’t quite as easily save stuff into my Wuala to share with others.
Still – for now – I will stick with it – though free always has a cost – will link to that post another time!
(Oh and you could also buy La Cie’s new wireless hard drive so that you can back up locally and to the cloud – automatically – in parallel.)
