I'm a big fan of git-annex. http://git-annex.branchable.com/ http://git-annex.branchable.com/ A bit fiddlier but very powerful. Supports S3, Glacier, tahoe-lafs, box.com, google drive, google cloud storage, mega.co.nz, skydrive, owncloud, Flickr, IMAP and Usenet! Claims not to be a Dropbox clone - but overlaps the problem space somewhat :)

The main thing I need for all of these is android support to upload my photos. That is literally the only thing tying me to dropbox today. I already use TC containers with stupidly long passwords for the "sensitive" stuff (i.e., my porn and ex gf pics) so I'm not overly concerned with that but dropbox strikes me as not-very-secure in general.

We (rsync.net) are big fans of git-annex[1] as well, but we are more than happy to support all of the above. That's what's nice about this new software from expandrive - it works over plain old SFTP. I'd like to see about a mixed use dropbox clone - where some (expert) users access it with either git-annex or the git+encfs method[1] and other users access it with this new tool from expandrive.

EDIT: actually simultaneously hosting strongsync and git+encfs users would be difficult since strongsync couldn't handle the encfs aspect of it, but I think we'll still test out a simultaneous git-annex / strongsync model ...

  I've been using owncloud a bit lately, on my phone too. Not entirely satisfied with it I must admit, but seems to show some promise. p.s: I'm amused how last time you replied to one of my comments you were being critical of how I was promoting my business on HN, heh. Your satirical powers are strong my friend! ;)

  Does this software just emulate ftp when reading/writing to s3 since s3 doesn't actually support any type of ftp protocol?
