Installation was way too hard. I had to manually set the environmental paths, so that it could find Java (I didn't install Java on my system, and just pointed it at a portable version of OpenJDK). I wanted to use it with Google Drive, and after a search I came across https://github.com/Lyrrad/syncany-plugin-googledrive. At this point, I just gave up. Maybe it will get easier when it gets out of alpha.

What is Syncany?

Syncany is an open-source cloud storage and filesharing application. It allows users to backup and share certain folders of their workstations using any kind of storage, e.g. FTP, Amazon S3 or Google Storage.

While the basic idea is similar to Dropbox and JungleDisk, Syncany is open-source and additionally provides data encryption and more flexibility in terms of storage type and provider.

Even though Syncany is still under heavy development, it already supports a wide variety of different storage types.
