SparkleShare

SparkleShare is a free and open source software that allows you to create a special folder on your PC, inside which you can sync all kinds of files, so they can be accessed remotely from other computers. The way the synchronization process works is very similar to well-known services such as Dropbox and Drive, with everything hosted on your own servers.

Easy to install and set up

The first thing you'll see after installing SparkleShare on your PC is a short tutorial, where you'll find answers to almost any question you might have about how it works. If you still have questions after the tutorial, the developer's own official website offers step-by-step instructions on how to set up a host computer. One of the advantages of setting up your own host locally is that you'll have much more privacy, security, and, above all, inexpensive storage.

Very useful for online projects

SparkleShare is a program with many uses, but it really stands out for a few special purposes. For example, it's very useful when working on joint projects remotely, as it allows you and your team to sync each and every change you make to any file. On the other hand, it's not as useful for creating and storing full computer backups. You can still do this, of course, but your computer's performance may suffer.

A convenient way to sync files

Download SparkleShare if you're looking for a good tool for keeping important files synced between several computers. Thanks to its simple setup, which allows you to keep entire directories synced simply by sharing a unique password with other participants, you can work with your team remotely in a really convenient way.
