If you think you also need contact and calendar syncing, you could install ownCloud, or setup Davical alongside Pydio (which I think is way better than ownCloud). If you just want some nice and easy file sharing, Pydio is the way to go. So depending on what you wanna do you've got different choices. And like Seafile, it has the concept of having multiple workspaces, and only syncing the workspaces you want to each device. You can even have git-backed file versioning, which is really nice. There's some really bizarre features, too, like browsing an IMAP server and crap like that. Maybe even Dropbox, but I'm not totally sure. SpiderOak had (or still has) some promotion or included package with openSUSE (or so I thought, I am not sure if 12.1 has it).

It's ridiculously flexible in what you can use for storage, though - you can have it be a front-end for an FTP server. Im a Dropbox user, using it between Windows and Linux, work and home, laptop and desktop and browser. It doesn't do client-side encryption like Seafile can.

Unlike Seafile, you can download the source code and have WebDAV access up-and-running, and they're pretty responsive when I file bug reports. Like Seafile, it also has the group/team concept, and also like Seafile, it doesn't do contacts/calendar. I'm not sure what free/paid providers are out there, if any. See side-by-side comparisons of product capabilities, customer experience, pros and cons, and reviewer demographics to find the best fit for your organization. Their backup uses end-to-end encryption, meaning user data is encrypted before it is. SpiderOak Crossclave has a rating of 5 stars with 2 reviews. With SpiderOak, you can choose either self-hosted or on the cloud. Dropbox Business has a rating of 4.4 stars with 1943 reviews. Pydio (formerly AjaXplorer) is also a great option. Based on verified reviews from real users in the Content Collaboration Tools market. Also, I noticed the source download is missing the WebDAV feature entirely which is strange (I opened a bug about it on their github but no response yet). Self-hosting is a bit of a pain, the instructions aren't all that great and the file layout is really weird. It also has a neat feature to do client-side encryption, so whoever your hosting provider is can't see your files. Seafile also has the group/team workspaces concept, and when you setup a client you can choose which workspaces to sync. This is strictly file syncing/sharing, it doesn't have contact/calendar support like ownCloud does. You can host on your own or find a hoster for you, and there's clients for every platform ever. It also does contacts and calendar, which you may or may not need.

For instance, there's no concept of an area for a group to share files around, everybody just has their space and they share things individually. It's oriented towards having users, but not really towards, say, having groups.
