free software:

* http://seafile.com
* http://sparkleshare.org

proprietary:

* https://wuala.com
* https://spideroak.com
* http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html (BitTorrent Sync)

As mentioned previously, sparkleshare requires you find a git host. Of
the bunch, Wuala is by far the most powerful and friendly. The spideroak
UI is odd, and there is also the mysterious change in how spideroak says
they handle passwords. Seafile seems very promising. The other free
software contender, Syncany, appears long defunct. BitTorrent Sync is
server-less.
