software rec - Dropbox alternative with local sync support?



I am currently using Dropbox. Just decided to sync my huge (about 5 GB) iTunes Library (music collection) in Dropbox. For that I must subscribe to their paid account. But before I do so, I'd like evaluate the alternatives.


Is there an alternative that does this?



  • Local LAN sync (eg: sync my huge music collection across computers in local network without uploading/downloading them to internet)


The following would be nice (but not required):



  • Native android client - so music will be made available in the Android music app / SDHC card

  • Selective sync: sync particular folders / exclude certain folders on certain computers .. eg: excluding porn folder on work computers ;-)


Just like Dropbox, it MUST work on 64-bit Windows, Linux and Mac.


Know of any? (I am currently evaluating Spideroak. Boy, was it so complicated to use?)



Answer



Doh! Dropbox recently (6 days ago) added support for LAN sync. I'm sold!
