Are there any open-source equivalents to AeroFS, or Dropbox for that matter? Could work well for my work, but we'd need to tinker with it.



http://seafile.com/en/product/private_server/ I've been using it for a few months hosted on a vultr vps. All files are encrypted on the clients, and there are no limits. From what I've seen, it doesn't fall into the upgrade issues that owncloud has seen.


Been using it for close to a year now and very satisfied with it. Only upgraded a couple of times and no problems so far. Major selling points for me: ability to select any number of different folders to sync, ability to connect to any number of servers (i.e. at work I connect to both my personal server and the one which backs up my job related files), seems plenty fast


I use Seafile for personal data sync and I couldn't be happier. It is great!


I've been playing with Owncloud, but I read a lot of horror stories about it this week.
