If you are syncing files among machines that are all within your firewall, you may not even care about file encryption. Wire encryption may be adequate, and even that may not be needed.
BYOD means anyone can sniff the wire, and WiFi everywhere is tantamount to letting the whole world in.
Have you looked at these open source sync products?
Yes, I have.

Not only does it not encrypt traffic, it doesn't encrypt basic user authentication.

Unison does it better.

Unison does it better.
Also, on the proprietary side, there is a fairly new sync tool from BitTorrent, http://www.bittorrent.com/sync .
Worth looking into but, as you point out, proprietary. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
