I have been using btsync for a while now and it works very well. But it is closed source software, which means you don't really know how well it protects your freedom or privacy. Sure, there's no central server, but do you know how the folder secrets are generated and that the code is not somehow backdoored? We really don't know.

I hear that OwnCloud, which is open source, can do something similar, but I haven't tried it yet so I don't know how well it works.
