Sync Your Files without Trusting the Cloud
-
The company behind the Bittorrent protocol is working on software that can replicate most features of file-synching services without handing your data to cloud servers. A beta version is available from [url]http://www.bittorrent.com/sync[/url] if you are interested.

Interesting. There have been developed decentralised cloud-less alternatives to most every activity, often before the centralised clouds, however so far the centralised solutions have won every time. It is much simpler, and much quicker, to develop for your own server park than build protocols and infrastructure for cooperative solutions in a heterogeneous environment.

Torque Labs have a few interesting projects, including "Beam It Over" and "Paddle Over"
