It's for a relatively small group of people (unlikely to exceed 30). I'd like it to work as much as Dropbox as possible, i.e., user runs a program in the background, and it syncs a local folder's files with one on the server.

Filesystem-like access to remote files won't do -- it has to be a synchronization program like Dropbox.

The free version comes with 2GB of space. Do you need more? – quanta Aug 1 '11 at 2:39
If it was free and easy everyone would do it. They've got the secret sauce, which is why they can charge. – Chris S Aug 1 '11 at 3:01

Have a look at SparkleShare - an open-source alternative to Dropbox which is built on Git.

Unfortunately it is only available for Linux and Mac OS at this point in time.

May be rsync? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync

don't understand why this was down-voted... rsync is a very reasonable, secure and fast solution... if people are going to down-vote at least provide a reason... – Silverfire Aug 1 '11 at 5:32
