It is, but in a private repo. It's not ready for release, and questionable
if we'd make it open source or not anyway. I'd be happy to share ideas in
it though.

The one conclusion I've come to though is that implementing something like
dropbox is HARD. There are a lot of edge cases, and so we're not really
sure we'd want to release something like that without covering all those
cases. One alternative for us would be to just offer the option to mirror
your contents to dropbox one-way.
