Online storage fs but with offline support?

Hi Guys,

I need to install something on our company laptops which means that everything they write in particular folders are sync to cloud storage (preferrably S3, so we can use it with our other infrastructure), but it also needs to be locally available to them, so when they are on an aeroplane or anywhere without internet connectivity, they can access their files.

Something like Dropbox would be perfect, except I would really rather store the files on S3 (it's waaaay cheaper cos we have so many people using this a LOT).

Does anyone know about something that would work? I've had a look at things like s3fs, but it doesn't look like they support offline as well as Dropbox does?

BTW, I really need a solution for M$ Windows as well as Linux, as some people *apparently, need*  to use Winblows?!

Thanks,
Tom

If you want to roll your own solution you could take a look at duplicity, rsyncrypto and unison. Don't know if they have windows ports though. There are also Dropbox-like services such as SpiderOak and Bingodisk. Also think about  how to organize backups.
