Dropbox alternative

[yudi v]

Out of all the options presented so far, Unison is the one that closely
matches my needs. It's bidirectional, runs on different platforms (not
mobile), and can be used with SSH.
Most other options listed here are of server/client design, they have their
strengths but my main priority is to reduce the risk of data loss to the
absolute minimum.

Synching the data across three different devices should make the data loss
very unlikely and also having them locally will give me instant access

I wish btsync was open sourced as well.
