Wuala works just like Dropbox but completely encrypts any content you put into it. Be aware though, that by doign this the program is a bit slower (as it needs to encrypt on upload and decrypt on download,) and, more importantly, if you loose your encryption key, your content goes with it.

I’ve blogged about Wuala before but in light of the recent news about Dropbox checking for the sharing of copyrighted material, which I agree with some isn’t really that big of a controversy, some may still want a more secure way to store and share in the cloud.
