I have done something similar, but used a Raspberry Pi and Seafile (http://seafile.com) instead of BTSync. I did not get the chance to test it with large media files, but works great for documents and photos. Also has mobile and cross platform clients.

And the best part is it's open-source: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile

I'm using Seafile with a VPS. I had the VPS anyway for other projects and it's great to be able to access my files from anywhere. I'm really impressed with Seafile's polish, too.

The only feature I miss is not being able to host files publicly so others can download them like Dropbox lets you. I ended up with a workable solution though by installing a seafile client on the seafile server as well. I then used it to sync a particular directory with my PC and made that directory available through nginx.

You can generate shared link to a file or folder on your seafile website and send it to others.

Could you share your experiences, for example how many files do you have on the server? I have read[0] that Seafile struggles with larger amounts of files and I was hoping to use it as a drop-in NAS replacement for businesses.
