I'm getting a bit confused. I thought drop box was a service where one
could upload a file, give it a password of some sort, and then you sent
the password to someone else who could use it to grab the file.
typically needed for large files, (multi-gigabyte) which cannot be
e-mailed directly. After some time, the file gets deleted automatically.
Does this drop box like systems mentioned use repository in the back
end? I would assume it would just dump the file in some directory.

Supposing the data is encrypted, and inaccessible to the 3rd party, do you
still care so much?
Does sparkleshare require the use of some

It's currently git in the backend. So you could own your own.
I liked ifolder (from a user perspective, not an admin perspective).
But
since the implosion of novell, I've decided to forget about it, kiss it
goodbye.
Why? It's fully GPLv2. Even if Novell completely goes belly up, or
decides to take it proprietary, the OSS community can continue to
support this or a fork of it.
Just try getting it to work. Although it's open source, the amount of work
necessary to make it work on *any* platform is daunting... It was meant to
run on Suse... And even then, the only way to get it working in less than 2
person days of admin time was to use a full deployment of novell products...
edirectory and such.
Yes it's possible. No it's not attractive. But maybe someday.
