Hi I have been tasked with finding a good way of replicating a few folders to many users... I was experimenting with Bittorent sync privately and am impressed.... I love that I can have multiple different "base" folders instead of just sharing a single folder and the subdirectories as is the case with many other solutions. However, my only concern is the security... I have read many threads saying how it isn't likely to guess anyone's code(s), and whilst I agree it is highly unlikely, I feel it is far from impossible - and if this application becomes popular with hundreds of thousands, if not millions of users, we would be stupid to think that it wouldn't happen at least once. I feel this application will be a great replacement to pretty much the only alternative (Microsoft DirectAccess + DFS + Offline files), but, I am concerned about the security as there would be very sensitive data being replicated. Reading up on the protocol, is there a way of making this more "business grade", e.g. I could install a central tracker or get all clients to use known host only? (I realise that this will probably stop the local/lan exchange). In addition, if someone was to leave the company, I am guessing that there is no way to revoke access for that one person if they still have the key and host list? ... So many solutions out there such as Dropbox have so many limitations when you scale that do not meet the needs of larger companies - and they become so overprices once you start adding a few users... Many companies like mine have a real need for good distributed file management and also own our own hardware infrastructure so it just seems silly to pay a company for hosting it, I would however gladly pay for a "private" version of Sync that ran on my own servers/easier user management e.t.c. Just wondering if there are any plans for this sort of thing in the future?
