rsync - https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync

I am having trouble finding the original "Show HN" for Dropbox but I recall people just calling it, more or less, "rsync with a web GUI."

Taking it one step further, you could use rclone (https://rclone.org/) which is like rsync but adds the functionality of syncing files with different cloud storage providers.

It has been on my TODO list to setup rclone with Nuage as the front end (https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/nuage) so I can have a Dropbox-like interface with org-mode text file rendering on the go.



It doesn't have "Show HN" in the title, but here it is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863
