[TriLUG] Opensource dropbox or box.com & File sync.

[Matt Pusateri]

Looks interesting.  What I'm really looking for is on the file sync side, is keeping one's desktop and laptop in sync, so people don't have to manually push files to the file server and or have multiple copies of different versions of the same file.   If I can sync all that to a file server(Windows or Samba) and then back that up as well, that would be handy.

What I'm trying to eliminate is us putting our data in the cloud, if we can be the cloud.

Thanks

Currently sftp is too cumbersome for users apparently WinSCP is too hard to use :(  Also looking for something that allows self-service account creation, with admin notification.  Has anyone used something like this that's open source?  I'd prefer to host this myself, as opposed to something like box.com  Also trying to provide a more user friendly experience so they don't have as much reason to circumvent our sftp server and just use dropbox personally.
