Am also watching Syncany; looks impressive. Till then, I'm keeping data
local. I had been a fan of Dropbox.
Cheers,

Syncany looks impressive. It's free, works with various types of
storage such as FTP (i.e. you don't need to install a "Syncany
server"), and even integrates into Nautilus file manager. I'll keep an
eye on this one.
I read about Sparkleshare a while ago but I think I'd prefer Syncany.
Sparkleshare depends on the Mono framework, which doesn't come with
Trisquel preinstalled (although it is available in the repo). Mono,
which is a free implementation of the Microsoft .NET framework, is
possibly covered in part by Microsoft patents. Personally, I'm not
comfortable using an imitation of Microsoft technology in my OS...
since by definition the Microsoft version will always be ahead of Mono
(like Wine) and Microsoft is not very free software friendly. If none
of the risks of using Microsoft-inspired technology bother you, you
may wish to consider Sparkleshare.
