I don't know, sync seems to me to be one of the canonical Big Problems of computing.
But I don't want anyone to think I'm belittling what IFTTT does, or calling the problem trivial. I wouldn't care if they didn't provide a genuinely useful service. This type of thing just seems poorly served by the startup model of grandiose dreams combined with 95%+ chance of failure.
Except many people need what dropbox does (conveniently move files between ios/android and your computer; conveniently share some files between a work and personal computer), while I don't see the common need for ifttt. The latter may be due to my lack of vision, of course...

You could say the same about rsync/ftp and Dropbox, but they seem to be doing fine.
