Re: [Trisquel-users] Cloud based sync system/software

A problem with your description is the concept of "server", I think. ownCloud  
could run on one of the machines you that you want be involved in the syncing  
for example. Does installing a package make the machine magically become a  
"server"? It's just a software that any machine could run regardless of what  
you call it. Do you want something that doesn't need the other computer to be  
powered on in order to sync? That implies the data's been sent to some third  
party 'cause if the other machine's going to be powered on then you have lots  
of options of syncing directly between the two machines. That option includes  
ownCloud, since it can be installed on any computer. Or do you want to send  
the files to a third party? That lets you do syncing with the other machine  
turned off but creates other issues. If you have don't mind that the machines  
be on at the same time in order to sync files:

Use rsync?
Use version control?
Use Unison?
