The public beta in August will carry a twist. Till now you have to download a Mac, PC or Linux client to access the service. But from the 14th, users will be able to simply click on a button on the site to start the service (it’s a Java app). That’s it. No software installation and no user account required. You can use it for file backup, photo and video sharing, or making files available publicly. Wuala competes in the storage space with Xdrive or Box.net.<\/p>\n<\/a>Wuala<\/a>, the innovative P2P social grid storage coming out of Switzerland, is doing a sneak preview<\/a> of its public beta from now until Monday evening, after which it will close until the full launch on August 14. It’s worth checking this out before the window closes as I’m betting Wuala is pretty much unlike any online storage service you’ve seen.<\/p>\n
