Dropboxish services that keep prying eyes at bay? At some point you might consider renting a little server space -- you have to pay, but it's awfully useful for many things. Another option would be getting a mini home server that sits in a closet and is always on. That solves the BitTorrent Sync problem, and you'll suddenly find it's good for a bunch of other stuff as well: backups, music, printing, other torrents, LAN filesharing... Both options are annoying in their own way, but once you've got something up and running, you'll be pleased! E
