  * A - [[gui#toolbar|Toolbar]]
  * B - [[gui#wuala-account-directory|Wuala account directory]]
  * C - [[gui#folders-and-files|Folders and files]]
  * D - [[gui#status-bar|Status bar]]

  * Return arrow to the master directory (//User//, //Contacts//, //Groups//) \\ {{:products:wuala-business:start:toolbar_master_directory.png?200}} \\ \\

===== Wuala Storage Directory =====

The first column from the left lists your directory of Wuala accounts and groups:
  * **Notifications** - Recent updates to files are available for review.
  * **Personal folders and files** - Users receive 5GB of free secure cloud storage with the option to upgrade. This storage remains separate from the Company storage listed in **Groups** below. \\ {{:products:wuala-business:start:personal_storage.png?450}} \\ \\ 
  * **Company** - Your Company storage and Business Groups. In the example below, the name of the Company is //CloudCentre//. \\ {{:products:wuala-business:start:business_storage.png?450}} \\ \\ 
  * **Contacts** - Look at files that your Wuala contacts want to share with you.
  * **Groups** - Access files shared by other Wuala users.

<note>**Notes:**
  * When first creating an account, you may only find the folders and files within the first column. Contacts and Groups will appear once you have added them to your account.
  * A single Wuala Business Starter Code includes 100GB with the option to upgrade.

===== Folders and Files =====

The second column from the left gives you a larger perspective of your folders and files. \\ {{:products:wuala-business:start:folder_column.png?450}} \\ \\ 

Folders are colored by access rights:
  * Yellow - Private folder that can only be accessed by the user.
  * Blue - Public folder that the user has opened for anyone to access. It can be found on a standard internet search engine and its contents are available to everyone.
  * Red - Shared folder with access to a select group. The user has chosen to share files in the folder with a limited amount of people. Please note that folders within groups are red since they are shared.

{{:products:wuala-business:start:folder_color.png?200|}}

A folder can have an icon that indicates it is being used for:
  * //Backup// \\ {{:products:wuala-business:start:backup_overlay.png?50}} \\ \\ 
  * //Sync// \\ {{:products:wuala-business:start:sync_overlay.png?50}}

===== Status Bar =====

The icons represent:
  * A green LED indicates the user is online. The LED will turn red if internet connectivity is lost. \\ {{:products:wuala-business:start:status_led.png?600}}
  * Upload and Download progress bars \\ {{:products:wuala-business:start:status_upload_download.png?600}}
  * File path and size \\ {{:products:wuala-business:start:status_file_path.png?600}}
  * Storage capacity used and available; link to add more storage and users to your account \\ {{:products:wuala-business:start:status_storage.png?600}}

The Status Pane storage capacity will differ according to the storage being accessed by the user:
  * When accessing a group created for the company, the user will see the amount of total storage used by the team. \\ {{:products:wuala-business:start:status_storage_company.png?450}} \\ \\ 
  * When accessing personal storage, the user will see the amount of total storage used on his own Wuala storage. \\ {{:products:wuala-business:start:status_storage_personal.png?400}}
