Once you "go pro" and provide storage, then only the $30/year plan makes sense. Nice. Does Wuala do any better with conflicting files, or have you been luck enough to avoid the problem? Doug ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/

I am paying $100/year for 50G on Drop box. Wuala offer the same amount for $80. Right now I am using 25G. If you have a server on 24/7 like one of those computers at the last meeting, then you could go for the $30 plan. Let wuala have 100G of that server for storage, and you have 100G of shared
