There is a bug report which may be relevant, suggesting that some encrypted filesystems don't handle inotify events properly (and hence the syncronisation daemon doesn't detect changes to files, only differences it finds when it scans on startup).
It's unclear from the bug report whether this has been resolved or what the current status is, I'm afraid.

Its probably not what you're looking for, but I did this manually (Gnote is awesome, no more, no less).
(On laptop) I use Wicd's postconnect script-function to scan the network. If it finds my home network, it connects sshfs local (192.168.0.12) and mount the folder on the homeserver with the gnote-files at ~/.local/share/gnote-folder, else it grabs the ...

Claws Mail cannot directly sync gmail contacts.
There is the GData plugin which periodically pulls in GMail contacts, and adds them to Claws Mail's address completion list. That means that even though they're still not in the addressbook, they are available in address tab-completion when composing emails, or in filtering based on address book.
It's not a ...

Any of the file syncing technologies you use (Dropbox, Ubuntu One, Copy, btsync, etc.) will almost always need an initial sync if you already have data out there. This totally depends on the kind of documents you have.
What I do when I get a new laptop and install Dropbox is plug it into an ethernet cable and let it sync (I have about 65GB to sync.) so I ...

I would stick with one service, either user Ubuntu One or Dropbox. Honestly I would recommend dropbox, but that is just me. If you want to have both synced and a folder on each system synced then you can use "the linking trick".
In linux:
ln ~/Dropbox/music ~/synced_music
Then add ~/synced_music to Ubuntu One
In Windows:
Your basically going to do the ...

I'm not sure if gtkp is the same as gtkpod, but I used to use that for managing my iPhone and it worked best of all the things I tried. It's been a while, but I think you need ifuse with it.
I would give you more information from their page but it seems to be down at the moment. Otherwise you can try yourself: gtkpod. I had an iPhone 3GS at the time and it ...

The Ubuntu version of Insync does not automatically create a log everytime it runs. To have a log you have to launch Insync from the terminal and "pipe" the app's messages to a text file that you can then share:
insync > insync.log
if you want to go a bit farder or you are having a lot of issues with the app, you can make it run like this each time you ...

WP devices use the MTP protocol. Have you tried using Nautilus with the GVFS MTP plugin?
There is a step-by-step guide on how to install and setup an up-to-date GVFS MTP plugin using a PPA in Ubuntu 12.04 and later at http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/upgrade-to-gvfs-with-mtp-support-in.html.

Bittorrent Sync
It's still experimental, but Bittorrent Sync may be the thing you want. It's p2p and is well documented. Get all information here:
http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html
Keep in mind that this software was in an alpha state not long ago, so you can see this in some kind of beta state I think. Unfortunately I did not try this yet, ...

You can use unison for bidirectional syncing of files based on profiles.
Downside: It's not an automatic filesharing tool, so you have to manually sync or make a cronjob.
Upside: It's very reliable and resolving conflicts works perfectly when doing manually with the graphical user interface.
You can install unison-gtk via the Ubuntu Software Center or via ...

I think that you're looking for rsync
Usage:
rsync -avz /root/temp/ remote_user@192.168.200.10:/home/remote_user/temp/
where /root/temp/ is the local directory and /home/remote_user_temp/ is the remote directory where the syncing is done. You will be asked for the remote_user's password.
Note that rsync depends on ssh, which means that you will have to ...

I do not want to use the google drive or dropbox as this will consume my network bandwidth(over a long run)
First of all, note that Dropbox will use your LAN. It won't go over all of the WAN for syncing files over the local network. It will still use some internet bandwidth, but it will just try to find files on your local network. See LAN Sync on the ...
