On my "somebody should create this, and I might eventually" list is an open source, P2P, optionally server-backed, encrypted Dropbox replacement.
Bittorrent's Sync almost gets there, but isn't open source. I haven't really looked at it, but ownCloud might do what I want.
- ekianjo 13y agoI heard ownsync is really buggy. Havent tried it though.
- simgidacav 13y ago+1. I'd like to know more about this. Working on a encrypted FOSS alternative to conventional storage would totally be a perfect side project
- ondmagi 13y agoThe ownCloud sync client for OS X pins one cpu core to 100% usage on my fairly new i7 mbp, which effectively drains the battery quite quickly if you don't notice. Then it also seems to do a full scan of teh entire folder each time it sync's, if you then have for example your iPhoto library (usually a few GBs) there, the sync process will consume lots of CPU and tend to be out of date across devices.
