Highly tangential project pimp time: https://github.com/atomirex/umbrella https://github.com/atomirex/umbrella
So, sadly I haven't got this further the last couple of weeks, and it's more framework than even proof-of-concept (panic at a paying customer taking precedence), however, the general idea is to provide iCloud/Dropbox/GDrive type functionality to apps (on Android to start with) via the storage app framework wrapping JGit synced over Bonjour or static IPs (and IDed with public keys) with a sane UI, and ultimately things like filetype specific SQLite indexing of documents within.
I don't buy the idea that any of Dropbox/iCloud/whatever are sustainable in the long run, especially with the privacy noise. The whole thing needs to become user-oriented, not service-oriented. How the economics of that will work I have no idea, but it's becoming an itch that's getting intolerable.
