Would accessing your files using a shared POSIX compatible filesystem that's stored in your own S3 bucket be a possible alternative to self-hosting? With everything encrypted using the NaCl crypto library and stored directly on Amazon S3 with no middleman?

I wanted exactly that and built ObjectiveFS. You can try the free preview at https://objectivefs.com

The main issue he had with BitSYnc was it wasn't open source and you suggest to him not only a closed source alternative but proprietary as well.
