Like OwnCloud, BittorrentSync allows syncing files across chosen computers even in local network, so it doesn't require connection to the internet.

Although tailored for families, it offers many of the same features as a typical groupware solution like OwnCloud -- calendaring, group messaging, sharing of files & content, etc.

Box allows you to share a chunk of your data by uploading it to THEIR storage space : you do not control it any longer. While ownCloud on the opposite allows you to securely share part of YOUR (Home / Enterprise) server storage space. You stay in control.

OwnCloud is groupware. IPFS is a file-sync storage solution. Just because they have overlapping functionality, does NOT make them interchangeable.
