To be honest I like the idea of using something that doesn't put all my data onto someone else's servers. I don't have a fundamental problem with that (and do it in plenty of other situations) but Syncthing and BTSync give me the option to avoid that. It also means zero cost regardless of capacity.
I can thoroughly recommend SyncThing. I've been using it for a few months now and it's wonderful.
Apparently it's called Pulse now. It has clients for everything you need (linux, windows, android).

Thanks for that, Steve. I like the look of Pulse.
I had a look at their site (thanks for the link) but there are some glaring omissions. I can't see how they are funding it (or going to fund it despite their crown-funding campaign coming up), and I can't see any mention of data limits, costs etc. As the man himself said, there's no such thing as free.
Surely, as they're not providing any computing power or resources, it can be 'free' in the same way as most Open Source software is.
