People who want free stuff just use Dropbox or other free alternatives. People who use something like AeroFS generally do so because their stuff is important enough to pay money to maintain.
As someone who's trying to figure out this exact situation for one of our teams, I'm not going to try to pirate something and then try to maintain it. I want to be able to call someone and make them help me fix things. I want to know that I'm getting security updates on my appliance. If I wanted to do all that work myself then I would just build it myself from e.g. BitTorrent Sync.
Besides, the last thing you want as a corporation with data so sensitive you want to keep it in-house is to trust it to pirated, unsupported third-party software with no support and then have someone snitch on you and end up getting sued for some huge amount on top of that. Sure-fire way to get… well, fired.
