Out of all the options presented so far, Unison is the one that closely matches my needs. It's bidirectional, runs on different platforms (not mobile), and can be used with SSH. Most other options listed here are of server/client design, they have their strengths but my main priority is to reduce the risk of data loss to the absolute minimum. Synching the data across three different devices should make the data loss very unlikely and also having them locally will give me instant access I wish btsync was open sourced as well.
