Hi 
I hope this Email will be useful for some of you
who has been searching for Dropbox alternative for a long time.

We use Owncloud for our production to replace Dropbox.

The client use "csync" 
http://www.csync.org/
Don't confuse it with  "csync2".
http://oss.linbit.com/csync2/

Csync use "time stamp" to detect changes so no need to have any type of
"heartbeat" services.  Just make sure setup ntp properly for all hosts/guests.
You can use LDAP or AD or local users for authentication.
You can use any storage you like mount via nfs or iSCSI or Samba.
I use ZFS/Solaris http://openindiana.org/ since it's cheap and reliable.
Or you can use Nexanta since they have better GUI and support.
http://nexentastor.org/

On the client sides, Owncloud support all OSs including Android and iOS.
The whole ecosystems is very stable now.
There are plenty of document around to help you getting started.
Highly recommended.

There is another one but I have no time to test it.

Tested: Spakleshare, iFolder. Good but does not fit our needs.

Good luck to syncany team.
All the Best

> Owncloud is a great example of what you get creating collaboratively. It's not just a Dropbox killer but a platform with document viewers (some editors too), media player, calendar, contacts, desktop/mobile clients and much more. If some of you want a Dropbox "Libre" alternative Owncloud is it and more...
