    File Sharing and Sync'ing Suggestions!

    Ok, so a bit of background.

    We have a small file server, I want a cloud backup (probably the Amazon S3 thing).

    But, we also want to be able to access the files, via a nice friendly interface, at the office, and on client site.

    So this means we need an HTTP interface that lets us browse/upload files, however the last thing I want to do is expose our file server to the world wide wibble.

    So I was thinking of having backups going to the cloud, generational backups locally (so people can do the whole right click previous versions thing) and have some file syncing software.

    Anyone got any experience of that last part?

    Is there something I'm missing overall that does this?

    Been looking at www.Humyo.com but they seam to become VERY expensive very quickly with their backups by charging for the full space for each backup, rather than a DIFF. Cheeky eh!
