Alright, I'll chime in here, too.
Unison is conceptually a 2-way rsync with smarts, and unlike Dropbox,
does *not* use any 3rd party storage (may be a plus for some).

I haven't had cause to use it (or Dropbox, either) since my
computing is vastly file-server based. But folks who use it
seem to really like it. Disclaimer: I know of this project
primarily because the creator is a professor here at Penn.
Even if you don't want to use it, it's worth reading the
homepage. Its feature set and design paradigm are pretty neat.
