It's closed source and there are concerns about that. (You can't audit it for privacy, encryption quality or bugs.) But it seems to be the most effective sync tool out there at the moment. I am using it, though if anyone comes out with an equally good open source alternative I would switch.

I'd love an open source alternative. That does bug me about BTS. However, I have much more faith in BitTorrent to handle it well, where security is in their interest, than I do in a company like Dropbox. Of course, never trust a company, so I'd switch to something open in a heartbeat.
