"Instead of centralized servers, Wuala uses the idle resources (storage and bandwidth) of computers of its users who can opt to trade their local storage for online storage. Note that not everybody has to offer local storage and in fact, not everyone can. Local storage is only useful to the system if the computer is online more than 17% of the time on average (about 4 hours a day). Only when you meet this requirement, you are allowed to trade your local storage for more online storage. But even if you do not contribute, we give you 1 GB of free online storage which is already enough for most purposes."
