> Dropbox does LAN sync. If a machine has to download a large file and another machine on the network has the same file, chunks are provided peer to peer. This makes using large files on multiple machines or in a team much faster.

Doesn't the file have to exist on Dropbox's servers before it can be synced to another computer on the same LAN? The last time I looked into it, this was the case.
