But as a one-word subject, it's indistinguishable from prescription drug
spam. You're very lucky this made it past the list moderator.

Unless Tresorit provides "real" filesystem semantics (all users always
see a consistent view of the filesystem), if you have multiple
simultaneous users, you can eventually expect corruption because
repository locks won't be visible to all users.

Since it describes itself as a "sync tool" (easy to write) and not as a
"network filesystem" (hard to write), we can be pretty sure that it will
not be reliable in this regard.

If you only ever have one user committing at a time and can ensure that
the repo is always fully synchronized before you start a commit, then it
might work.

It will also use more bandwidth.
