YuuWaa, unlike most online storage solutions, is a data storage option that offers both a physical and cloud element.

The product takes the form of a USB flash drive – 4GB or 8GB – along with a further 8GB and 16GB of online storage. One point worthy of note is that the price tag for the YuuWaa Go and Plus only covers the online storage element of the product for a set amount of time.

The YuuWaa is primarily driven by the product’s USB drive for set-up. Thereafter a combination of the flash drive and online account manages your files.

Both interfaces suffer from some fairly unintuitive design, and while the combination of both a physical flash drive and cloud storage seems like a good idea in principle, the fact that the pair are somewhat dependent on each other can prove problematic.

Finally, it’s a shame you have to pay a subscription for a fairly negligible amount of online storage.

Verdict

All in all, either solely a physical or cloud storage solution would be preferable and better value, and while it's a nice ideam better-value solutions are available.
