Wuala

Wuala is an application developed by Lacie. It is a solution to offer some online storage in the "cloud"

It allows automatic backup of your data and synchronisation between PCs as well as time keep track or "version" of you file (you can go back in time)

It is a Java application and because of that can more or less run on every computer.

On their website they only have a package for Ubuntu but there is a package for all the other.

To install it you need several packages

For Fedora 12 you will need to install:

java-1.6.0-openjdk-1, java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1, fuse-libs, fuse, xdg-utils 

If you don't need the full system integration you don't need fuse-libs, fuse, xdg-utils but you will loose having a virtual drive of your online data on the desktop

yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1 fuse-libs fuse xdg-utils
