SparkleShare is open-source client software that provides cloud storage and file synchronization services. By default, it uses Git as a storage backend. It is comparable to Dropbox, but the cloud storage can be provided by the user's own server, or a hosted solution such as GitHub or Gitorious.[1][2] The advantage of self-hosting is that the user retains absolute control over their own data. In the simplest case, self hosting only requires SSH and Git.[3]
