btsync

We considered doing everything with BTSync, but on iOS the interface is too difficult for non tech-savvy family.

Then all you need is git/rsync/btsync + a few bash scripts to keep your data in sync.

If BTSync can support everything under the sun by statically linking their single binary, why can't Google.

While not officially supported, I sync 1Password just fine using BTSync in local mode (no tracker, no relay).

Also, bittorrent did bait and switch with btsync, and had supplied utorrent with spyware.

I've stuck with btsync 1.3.94, the version with the beautiful workflow, just before it went off the rails.

I started using btsync instead so that my machines where synced up without needing a cloud store.

Or Syncthing, which does very much the same thing as BTSync -- multi-way sync of one or more directories between several computers you own/control.

Half of bleeps value is simply in my not needing another account (e: I could say the same about btsync).

I had issues when I tried BTSync before with too many shares bogging everything down so I stopped using it.

On the other hand, it does play very nicely with Dropbox/GoogleDrive/BTSync - although for the sufficiently paranoid you need to consider the risk of the Dropbox/GoogleDive/BTSync binary running on your device having access to the unencrypted local partition...

Syncthing is free software, and offers better security guarantees than BTSync, but as a result it's slightly harder to set up a folder on each client.

No CTO of a major company is going to say "we didn't use Dropbox because they have someone on their board who was involved in perpetuating a trillion dollar fraud that cost hundreds of thousands of lives." They might not even think this -- they just know that their many underlings recommended OneDrive, Google Drive, btSync, or an in-house solution accessed via a VPN.
