Check out owncloud. The open source components might be useful.

I personally, and two other IT guys that I've spoken with from different 
companies, have been burned by placing any trust in owncloud.  In fact, I'm 
still subscribed to their mailing list, and at least once a day, new people 
write in, asking for help, because it either fails to sync files it should 
sync, or some data seems to be lost.  My advice:  Steer clear.

In Microsoft, what you're looking for is called DFS.  I don't know any good 
linux/unix based bidirectional tools such as requested, but if you start 
searching for alternatives to DFS (or if you simply pay MS and deploy DFS) then 
you have an answer, and hopefully can find some FOSS solution out there.

Seafile seems to work reasonably well. We've actually been looking for something with more capability though, one that can handle various levels of permissions and multiple-projects. But, if all you want is something to plugin to your own website with Dropbox like capabilities and multi-device synchronization capability, Seafile seems to be ready to fill that bit.
