SparkleShare

This is related to the reason I had to stop using Sparkleshare. A few years ago I thought the idea was pretty cool, so I tried it out. Then I started to get conflicts on some of my documents. A couple days later, I knew for sure that a file hadn't synced. Upon searching for a manual sync option (that would have to be a trivial addition) I came upon this issue[1]: "No, adding an action for this would be a hack. The whole point of SparkleShare is to sync stuff automatically.... Just because something is easy to do doesn't mean it should be added." I haven't touched Sparkleshare since.

This seems very similar to SparkleShare: https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare

did you take a look at sparkleshare, it's kind of a dropboxreplacement based on git. Last time i checkt it was possible to enable ciphertext storage ( https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/wiki/Client-Side-Encry... ) .

SparkleShare? https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare

I don't see any reason to be shocked about marcos statement about dropbox. Dropbox has the only advantage to be the first cloud-storage provider who get's the job done right. It's not Dropbox's security that made it so popular, it's just the way how simple it is to setup. Create an account, download the client, insert credentials and BAM you're ready to go. There is also an alternative to Dropbox called "Sparkleshare" (http://sparkleshare.org/) it's nearly equal to dropbox's functionality (except the webinterface). The only reason why i'm not using it (yet) is the fact that they use there own IRC server to keep your data in sync (some kind of sync-messaging between your client machines). So if you're having real security concerns, you can use sparkleshare and use your own IRC server (https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/wiki/Notification

sparkleshare? edit: seems like i'm the only one mentioning sparkleshare, so here are some links: http://sparkleshare.org/ https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare https://github.com/wimh/SparkleShare windows branch

You might want to look at this bit: https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/blob/master/SparkleLib... It tries to copy the Dropbox conflict behaviour.

Where DVCS-Autosync uses XMPP, the current version of SparkleShare uses a public IRC channel: https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/wiki/Private-notificat...

Have a look at this: https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare It's using git as a backend to sync.

Sounds much like SparkeShare which also uses Git as a backend but is written in C#/Mono: http://sparkleshare.org https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare
