Basically it doesn't exist (yet).<br><br>SparkleShare is the closest candidate but it will replicate all the externall stored data (although with a shallow clone, you might be able to get what you are after). But you might want to keep an eye on git-annex.<br>

<div>What I really want is:</div><div><br></div><div>- Cloud stored as a primary point - not replicating an initial desktop</div><div>- Cache controlled - only cache xGb of data (full files) and perhaps just pointers to the rest - especially rarely used things.</div>
<div>- Appears as a folder on the machine (like Dropbox/Google Drive)</div><div>- Security controls per share (or user)</div><div>- Full backups and version rollback</div><div><br></div><div>Google Drive/Dropbox on the iPad/Android do the caching well - only getting what you need when you need it, and caching a certain amount. Full OS machines just sync everything it seems.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have been asked many times if I know any solution like this... and perhaps I just haven't come across it yet and it is out there.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance for any responses.<br>
