It's the best self hosted open source off site Dropbox-like file synchronization software. Period.

It makes OwnCloud look like the slow, unreliable, and perennially flaky scripted kludge that it is. And it is much more straightforward than git-annex.

Trust me, your friendly anonymous cowardly pal. Seafile is really well made, and it's very easy to use.

It even has group and public file sharing and versioning. (It borrows heavily from git.)

I'm definitely in the market for something like that, so I'm checking it out. Funny how cloud backup systems are set to be commoditized within another year or so - tough business to be in! Here's the URL for anyone else shopping: http://seafile.com/en/home/
