Requirements are quite simple: sync up a shared folder between 3 macs, 1 pc and 2 laptops. OS are: Windows XP, Vista and MacOS. Data doesn't need to be on the cloud, but the sync needs to work reliably (dropbox messed up few of the syncs in a bad way and I had to get the backups out)
Data growth is quite slow, may be ~2 Gb/week
I don't have a full time IT person, so I should be able to manage things without going into system administration, rsync scares me
I want to pay may be < $.20/Gb, dropbox is expensive at $.50/gig on their highest capacity plan.
From what I can see AeroFS would fit the bill very nicely, but they seem to be not really available at this point
Another option I am looking at right now is Microsoft Live Mesh, which has an app for a Mac. I don't have ideological reasons not to try them, so I am installing it on one of the macs to see if it works or no
