Reminds me of the infamous "Show HN: Dropbox" post. One of the top comments:
> For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

- jrockway 13y agoNo wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.
- ZenoArrow 13y agoSince then it's gotten even easier. Just buy a couple of NAS drives (or a couple of Raspberry Pi with external hard drives), setup OwnCloud, that's it (note have recommended doubling the hardware used to ensure multiple backups). I use Dropbox but I used the AdWords trick to give myself 20GB space on the free account, which is ample for me. If I thought I would need one of the pricier options I'd see very little reason not to spend about an hour of my time to build an OwnCloud solution. Oh and it has support for iOS/Android for those that are interested... https://owncloud.com/products/mobileapps https://owncloud.com/products/mobileapps
