Dropbox accesses all the files in your PC?

You'll have that problem with anything you don't run yourself so that seems like an unfair complaint. Can't this sync desktop <-> server and laptop <> server?

I ran unison for a while but the conflict resolution was unfortunately lacking. It repeatedly stopped sync'ing properly until I intervened manually.

A few months ago I switched to csync[1], which looks better so far.

The last csync release is from August 2013. Is the project still alive?

I don't know. It simply works for me ever since I installed it (on linux and OSX) so I never bothered to check for updates.
