I am currenty evaluating “Syncthing” – the first open source implementation of the a decentralized file-sync system. Imaging it like Dropbox or BitTorrent Sync. This thing is an open source project, so you can peer into the source-code and compile it yourself. Since file-syncing is a part of the internet-infrstructure, I think it is really important to have this one open source!
The first test of Syncthing was successful and I can encourage everyone to try this out and have an eye at this project.
Just go with this tool. Setting up the node-network is (still) a little bit of fiddling around, but what you will get is a transparent, highly customizable filesync-network with great control of every aspect of sharing (and even with file-revisions).
