SparkleShare is an open-source cloud storage and file synchronization client app. By default, it uses Git as a storage backend. SparkleShare is comparable to Dropbox, but the cloud storage can be provided by the user's own server, or a hosted solution such as GitHub.[1][2] Advantage of self-hosting is that the user retains control over their data. In the simplest case, self-hosting only requires SSH and Git.[3] SparkleShare's support for both Android and iOS devices is on hold due to the lack of developer resources.[4]
