    AeroFS - File Sync Without Servers




    Need to try this out.



    AeroFS FeaturesPrivate LibrariesA Library is like a magic folder. It will automatically sync between your personal computers, and anyone you invite to share stuff with. Anything you store in your private library is by definition private. We will never store or be able to see any data stored in your private libraries. This is the perfect folder for your sensitive data.

    Unlimited StorageYour computer quite possibly has hundreds of gigabytes of space. AeroFS lets you use this space to its full potential. Using Private Libraries you can sync all your data. The catch? It's free, whether you want to share 1, 10, or 1,000 GB. You already have all the storage you need, now use it!

    Cloud or No Cloud? It's Your CallWe think you should have the freedom of choice when it comes to personal data management. AeroFS allows you to optionally add online backup storage as part of your personal cloud.

    Backup LibrariesBackup Libraries are like "Private Libraries", but with a twist: They are also synced and backed up to our secure AeroFS servers. All data on our servers is encrypted using strong AES-256 Encryption. Perfect backup for your baby pictures :-)

    Sharing is caringWe live in a connected world, and AeroFS is no different. You can share your Libraries with anyone who has an e-mail address: your friends, co-workers, or your pet (tell us if you figure out how the pet can view them. We may have a job for you).
    You can also view and modify files together, in real time.

    AeroFS SecurityYour stuff is valuable, keep it safe. We know that promising you security is not enough, so we wanted to take a bit of time to describe the methods we use to keep you safe:

    * Each computer running AeroFS has a 2048-bit RSA key, certified by us to be authentic. This prevents bad guys from being able to impersonate you.
    * When two computers communicate with each other, they perform "mutual authentication" using the keys.
    * They also use the keys to create a secure "communication channel" that is safe from nasty eavesdroppers or hackers.
    * Because the connection is encrypted directly from one device to the other, data "in transit" is end-to-end encrypted and is safe from attacks.
    How does AeroFS work?Technically, we've created a "peer-to-peer filesystem" - all the devices you install AeroFS on contribute to this file system.

    * Communication happens peer-to-peer, so any two or more devices can talk to each other directly, without a middleman server, and regardless of whether you're on a corporate LAN, on the Internet, or in any other network.
    * Because AeroFS is completely distributed, even if we experience downtime, you won't!
    * Try it yourself: Install aeroFS on two or more home computers. Unplug your home network from the internet. Update some files on these computers, and watch as AeroFS still magically and happily syncs in this isolated network.

    Looks interesting.

    I personally have found SugarSync does a pretty good job with my syncing and most of it is stuff I actually want backed up in the cloud, and the selective stuff is useful. But I've been looking for something similar that will work from my offsite Linux box for some of the bigger, less often changing files I want backing up so might like to give this a try (if the Linux support is any good).

        This sounds a lot like dropbox. Have you considered using it?
