Build-your-own-Dropbox service AeroFS (YC S10) now open to the masses

There's also Bittorrent's SyncApp to consider, though it's still in alpha:<p><a href="http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html" rel="nofollow">http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html</a>

Did it take them three years to launch? I know there is tech behind this but if it doesn't take off then they're fairly stuck.

Is this built on OpenStack Swift? It doesn't seem to be.

The service looks very similar to our Build-your-own- Dropbox service Tonido Cloud (<a href="http://www.tonido.com/cloud/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tonido.com/cloud/</a>).<p>We have evaluated Java for the client side like AeroFS. But decided against it and went with a native client.
