I can see some use for this in transferring large files (for example virtual machine images) between my own computers which are sometimes connected by wlan, lan and sometimes just wan.

There are cases when I don't want to be waiting for the transfer to complete. Would be great if I could just take the laptop and finish the transfer over the internet later on.

User experience should be simple. For serious syncing I would use some other tools. I'm thinking something like right clicking on folder to make it "available", then on some other computer selecting which folders I want to download.

Some clever combination of web and client software could make this pretty smooth.
