Slack is one of the most bloated apps on my computer, and my smartphone. On both, it takes seconds to boot, and that's just to load the local cache. Syncing with the main server takes a few more seconds. It has some good UI patterns. B

I'm in the same boat, and thinking of some sort of open source utility which will bridge rsync and AWS Glacier.
