I don't think this was asked before, and it is an obvious question when trying to build a kind of Dropbox clone:

What about a Windows version?

lipsync is a bash script that uses tools for Linux, and similarly
Macintosh. I believe it would be a large feat to get this to work in a
Windows environment If you really wanted it you could create a server
and mount the directories you need to sync via samba, then use the
tool.

Hi,

Like tdrust said, lipsync is designed to work on linux and uses it's tools. We can think about making a Windows version if we can have similar tools on windows, espacially the one that can watch directories and spawn events on change.

If your are interrested in porting lipsync on windows, let me know.
Regards,

Thion

Any chance this could work on cygwin?

Not without a larger coding job on Lsyncd, since for file events it
would need to access the Windows Journal API, since Cygwin is not
Linux in regards of kernel API I'm currently not planning to do so,
but I'd accept (good) patches if someone would do so. Lsyncd is
already structured to handle different event notification APIs,
currently this is inotify (Linux) and fsevents (OSX).
