Bezeq's Dropbox imitation

[Ori Idan]

I think you can achieve the same functionality using rsync and cron, however
what they offer is a daemon that looks for changes in a specific directory
and synchronizes the directory to the remote server. I think they also offer
the possibility of sharing a subdirectory (under that dropbox directory)
with anyone else that has a dropbox account.

I have used dropbox in the past, I am now using a similar service from
Canonical named Ubuntu one that comes default with Ubuntu desktop.
