Also competing with a relatively new feature - integrated with recent releases of Ubuntu (the linux OS) - called Ubuntu One (https://one.ubuntu.com/ https://one.ubuntu.com/) a cursory search for patents in this area turned up all sorts. it's a horrific mess of overlapping remote file sync patents out there. Try this, for example: http://www.google.co.uk/patents/about?id=UTJ7AAAAEBAJ&dq=remote+file+synchronization http://www.google.co.uk/patents/about?id=UTJ7AAAAEBAJ&dq... or this: http://www.google.co.uk/patents?id=dlXPAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.co.uk/patents?id=dlXPAAAAEBAJ There are pages and pages of published patents/patent apps in this domain. Will such infringement (stealing! piracy! theft!) be tolerated?
