Does wuala have physical ownership and exclusive, secure physical access to their own servers or is it up on the cloud? If it's cloud, access prevention from snoopy authority cannot be guaranteed, since a single loose warrant could tap every box.

If someone wants to encrypt their data, then they'd probably want to know the physical security around the box holding their data too. Stallman's probably mentioned this at some point.



I don't know all details but what I know:

- Wuala runs on dedicated machines in (i think three) different data centers. It isn't their own data center though.

- Data is encrypted on the client side.

- Wuala is hosted outside of the US or US jurisdiction


Yep, servers are in europe.

They say in their FAQ that their servers are in secure server farm in Switzerland, Germany and France.
