So far I've been very underwhelmed by btsync; I couldn't seem to get it to actually start syncing between my devices. I've gotten it to sync test data and the like just fine, but as soon as I ask it to sync large folders of real data, it fails to connect, and it doesn't have any real logging or debugging features, nor any 'force' buttons, so there doesn't seem to be anything to be done about it.

I started with Owncloud 6. I'm syncing about 300MB of files which are mostly text documents, scripts and various collected bits of stuff. It's only about 400 files altogether, but it changes quite a bit and the syncing has been flawless.

Same here, I'm running btsync across multiple machines / servers, would love to give OwnCloud a go but the Android / Windows offerings for the syncing of files was terribly lacking.

And especially for tiny files! It would run a new process for each file, creating and tearing down a TCP connection, and it did this completely serially.
