Imho it's also worth to mention that bittorrent sync (https://www.getsync.com/ https://www.getsync.com/) follows a fantastic concept with huge potential. Unfortunately it's not open source but alone the fact that it can run on a peer to peer basis without the need of any external out of control cloud host is very appealing to me. With small devices such as raspberry pi or NUC becoming more powerful the approach has a bright future.

The peer-to-peer thing is a problem for me. When I use device A, device B is invariably switched off.

  You "just" have to rent some cheap server that is always on. That's the self-hosting part for "asynchronous synching". With that, you do not sent your data to a third-party for the delayed syncing, but you host that peer yourself. If you use syncthing, you could make it also save incremental backups and suddenly you got kinda of an online backup.

    With BTSync you can even use encrypted read-only secret on the cloud peer, and it will never see any unencrypted data.

      As long as BTSync does not betray you. The idea is discussed for syncthing, https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/109 https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/109 There is a 880 USD bounty on it at https://www.bountysource.com/issues/1474343-support-for-file-encryption-e-g-non-trusted-servers https://www.bountysource.com/issues/1474343-support-for-file...
