I have something set up at home: ~/Inbox and ~/Outbox. Anything dropped into ~/Outbox gets rsync'd to rsync.net and mv'd (locally) to ~/Inbox.

Anything in ~/Inbox is "safe to delete" because it's guaranteed to have an off-site backup.

Presumably a fancy management app would queue (or symlink) the full directory structure into ~/Inbox (which would then behave as a "streaming cache")

~/Inbox would effectively be available (read only) on "all machines" and "for free" with near zero disk space until you start accessing or pulling down files.

I use Dropbox to manage ~/Sync (aka: active, not "dead" files).

"Outbox", "Inbox", and "Sync" have been the "collaboration names" that resonated the most with me (along with ~/Public if you're old enough, and ~/Documents for stuff that's currently purely local)
