BitTorrent Sync Is A Dropbox Killer, Or Maybe Much...
1. BT Sync needs to be open sourced and their security practices need to be peer reivewed
2. No version control in BT Sync like Dropbox has - killer feature in Dropbox IMHO

Why does Sync deserve a security audit and Dropbox not? If anything I'd say Dropbox is the more risky, what with storing all your files on their own servers.

Because Dropbox is clearly untrustworthy, there's no need to audit it. BTSync is potentially trustworthy.

At least with BT sync your files are stored on thirdparty server encrypted, unlike dropbox.
