That's not what I'm looking for. I do have a computer at home that is always on.

edit: Do people generally still turn off their home computers?

edit2: After thinking about it - what you seem to be describing is an alternative and not just a replacement. I want to replace the service that Dropbox offers with one of my own, I don't want to switch to an alternative Dropbox clone service.

Huge numbers of people only have a laptop at home which sleeps when they're at work. So the only sync service that's going to work for them is something with online storage as an intermediate step.

Yeah. My desktop computer eats up a lot of power even when idle. I do want the convenience of never turning it off, but I'd rather be environmentally friendly.
