====== Configure Your Wuala Business Storage ======

//Wuala recommends that the administrator for your Business storage follows all instructions to create and manage your Company on Wuala.// \\ \\ 

===== Wuala Business: Your Company =====

Your Wuala Starter Code allows you to build a profile for your team. Your Wuala business, called a //Company//, features 100GB of secure online storage and supports up to five //Wuala Business Groups//. A Business Group may be thought of as a single volume that is contained within your Wuala Company. Since they act as the storage volumes, you will use the Business Groups to host your folders and files. A single Business Group supports up to five users, including the administrator.

==== Example Wuala Company Account ====

CloudCentre has decided to use Wuala Business to enhance its digital workflow. The administrator, Davidadmin, already has personal Wuala storage and will now create a Wuala Company for CloudCentre. Once the Company is created, Davidadmin can add up to five Wuala Business Groups to store the CloudCentre's data. The Business Groups are expected to optimize data organization and collaboration. For example, Business Groups will be assigned as:
  * //CloudGroup-01// to store all documents that pertain to the general business. 
  * //CloudCentre-Photos// to store the company's image library.
  * //CloudCentre-Creative// to store all advertising and artwork.
  * //CloudCentre-Accounting// to store invoices for accounts payable/receivable.
  * //CloudCentre-Human Resources// to store files critical to managing personnel.

Of course, not all members of the company require access to all of CloudCentre's Business Groups. Therefore, Davidadmin gives the Human Resources department access to its own Business Group, the Accounting team access to its own Business Group, etc. Each Business Group supports up to five users, including the administrator. This means that an administrator can invite more than five users to join the Company Account since each Business Group will be accessed by different users per department.
