I think quoting Resilio as an alternative to Google Drive is completely wrong. You just handle your own important data to another company. Why should you do that? For these purposes you should set up a self-hosted solution such as ownCloud or one of its clones. Otherwise your data only changes hands.

Resilio Sync is peer-to-peer, so if you believe their marketing copy, you're not handing your data over to anyone -- it only syncs between your authorized devices. Since Sync is proprietary software, it's a valid concern that Resilio could be making copies of your data without your knowledge.

I use Resilio myself, but I'd rather use free software for this sort of thing. Syncthing looks great aside from the lack of iOS support.
