So if I understand correctly. Lets say I want to backup 100 gigabytes of data and my computer is on 12 hours/day. I'd need to reserve 300 GB of hard drive space (100 GB for local cache, 200 GB shared) for Wuala if I don't want to pay extra? And then what does that do to my bandwidth usage? My ISP would surely notice. “…..Furthermore, your computer keeps a copy (also encrypted) of all your files in its local cache……”
