This is the nearest thing i've seen to dropbox. > https://git-annex.branchable.com/ At this point I would not recommend git-annex to my worst enemy, even though I use it. Annex is not at all transparent (to me), and I struggle a lot when it doesn't just worksᵀᴹ [which is somehow rarely the case for me]. That being said, it does do client-side encryption. It will even setup a key for you in the webapp. Only requirement is that you have git-annex on your central server, but I think an installation by an unprivileged user is fine. You have to transfer the key to your other systems yourself. Also, you can get rid of the symlinks with direct mode. I sometimes go into indirect mode to do $GIT_STUFF manually. —Rasmus -- May contains speling mistake
