Hi.
Here are purely theoretical solutions (never used any of those).
http://cloudfs.org/2011/05/building-your-own-dropbox-equivalent/
http://sparkleshare.org/
http://mayrhofer.eu.org/dvcs-autosync
http://owncloud.org/index.php/Main_Page

I understand that all of this projects may NOT fit you needs but they may be
good hints for further search.
