Why don't you use filevault instead and encrypt the whole drive with the native encryption features?

Unless you're on Windows 8. As soon as you wire up, Win8 will forcibly disconnect everything on wifi so it reconnects over wired.

Sync does not do file locking. It's an asynchronous P2P system. It will do nothing to prevent others from editing, renaming or deleting the file. It's for sync - not collaboration. You'll need something like Office 365 or Google Docs for collaboration. There's no limit to the number of people that can be on a single share key. And installing apps does not make the registry 'bloated and error prone'. Just doesn't work that way.

Wake for network access is wake-on LAN to send magic packets to wake the machine up. It has nothing to do with preventing the machine from going to sleep to keep your programs running. Sleep is sleep - the machine is doing nothing when it's sleeping. Power nap, on the other hand, is what allows a background program to wake the machine and run when the machine is 'sleeping' (it wakes temporarily to run, though only partially). But only specific Apple software can use that.

Considering how easily extended attributes are lost, relying on them for important information seems insane. Sounds like what you need for your company is some actual project management tools. Anyway, the issue with supporting EAs is that they're very filesystem/OS specific. Sync is supposed to be a platform-independent tool for syncing files. Haven't you noticed that it runs on a ton of non-Mac platforms?

Yeah, but it redirects you to HTTPS when you try to login. That.. will be fixed at some point in the near future.

Does it look fixed now?
