There is also GoodSync:

I'm not endorsing it - in fact I didn't know it existed until 5 minutes ago. But it sure sounds like what Thom described.
I'd also like to recommend ownCloud. I can't claim to be particularly experienced with Apache, but after only five minutes ownCloud was up and running on it and so far has worked beautifully.
There are some downsides though. The 'A' in ADSL means even a fast connection is likely to have slow upload speeds (which translate to slow download speeds when using ownCloud).
Another problem with local Internet storage is that it may not be a great idea for backups (better to store these remotely). A backup tool that locally encrypts before uploading to Google Drive would be good. Does anyone know the right tools for this?

Seems like you want ownCloud. Same features as Dropbox but on your own machine. It´s a bit buggy sometimes but works great most of the time.
