This sounds like a problem only techies have, and already have solutions for, like centralized file servers. I don't sync files, I keep one copy of my files, and access them over the network.
- aquark 15y agoI have a large music/photo collection I sync with AeroFS. I have multiple machines on my network with ten's of GB of spare disk space, so this provides a good backup policy without needing to consider how I should back up all that data off a central file server.
- 0x12 15y agoThat's a good backup policy until your building burns down. Better do some off-site backups too!
- culturestate 15y agoI am probably the perfect target customer for this: I love and depend on Dropbox for a lot of things since I'm on the move all the time, but I do not trust them with my sensitive data (and I include in this category all of my business data - invoices, et. al). I already have a cheap, mass-storage server colo'd for offsite backups, so being able to run my own copy on my own hardware is a godsend for me.
- ttyS0 15y agoObligatory xkcd reference: http://xkcd.com/949/ http://xkcd.com/949/ I would say AeroFS is as easy as it gets when it comes to transferring large-size files between computers on the Internet. I use AeroFS to share photos and videos with my parents across the Pacific. Works pretty well.
- roel_v 15y agoWhat about backups and offline access? Those are the two main drawbacks of 'one copy to rule them all'.
