Two more wishes
Merlin, I’d like to add three wishes to your list:
Network optimized: Use the speed of the local network when both machines are on it, and be able to avoid firewall issues by falling back to any web (port 80) connection.
End-to-end strong encryption: I don’t want my data stored unencrypted on any intermediary servers that can be hacked.
Peer-to-peer: Let me set up any number of shared folders and decide who I want to share it with, instead of one centrally located “account” I have to “manage”.
When I was using Windows, I used Groove and it was pretty much the ideal file sync tool, addressing all the needs you mentioned (and my three extra ones). I still miss it terribly (Groove, not Windows).
