Sync will automatically update a Wuala folder on multiple computers, giving local access to files stored in the cloud. Follow the directions below to choose one or more shares on your LaCie professional server to sync on Wuala. Wuala will then upload all data on that share to your online account. From that point, the sync folder is ready to sync with other computers. To add the share as a local folder to other systems, log onto your Wuala account from computers within the network or in remote locations. The first time another computer logs on, you will see a prompt asking if you wish to add the sync folder(s) to it.

Once the share is downloaded to a computer, all data added to the folder will be available, no matter if file were copied locally or from other computers tied together via sync. All new data information (new files, updated files, deleted files, etc.) automatically uploads to the share's corresponding folder stored on your Wuala online account. Each time a computer logs onto Wuala, the local folder will automatically look to the online account for updates to sync.
