[TriLUG] Opensource dropbox or box.com & File sync.

[Joseph S. Tate]

Saw a talk on Tahoe at a PyCon a few years back, but haven't needed to try
it yet.  Seems like a FOSS dropbox but you can run it between a group of
friends, or a company network.
https://tahoe-lafs.org/~warner/pycon-tahoe.html is the link to the talk,
which has a link back to the project page.
