Although it accomplishes a lot of what you would want from dropbox, if you're a regular user of features like the web interface, then you would probably be a lot better off setting up an instance of Sparkleshare on your personal Web server. Sparkleshare is intended to be an open-source dropbox competitor, that has the features that btsync is missing. The disadvantage, of course, is that Sparkleshare requires a Web server, while btsync only needs to be installed on the computers you wish to sync files on. > > --Matt > >> On Feb 15, 2014, at 11:08 AM, francesco scaglione wrote: >> >>> On 15 Feb 2014 à 07:08, Jerry wrote: >>> I use Dropbox and Windows SkyDrive, soon to be renamed OneDrive, >>> extensively.
