This merger will transform our start-up into a world-class digital storage provider,” says Luzius Meisser, co-founder and CTO of Caleido AG. The user’s password never leaves the computer and therefore, no one – not even Wuala – can decrypt the user’s private files. The users can then grant their peers, regardless if users or non-users, individual access to each folder. All files stored in Wuala are safely encrypted on the user’s computer before they are stored online. Wuala’s rapid growth is not only attributed to its ease of use, but also to the unique way of protecting the user’s privacy.
