I have a family. But if I didn't, there's still the problem of multiple computers and Android devices. rsync is great for keeping two computers up to date but what if you have a desktop and a laptop and a tablet and a phone and there are some documents you want to read/write on all of those devices? At the very least I would use unison for bidirectional syncing, not rsync. Dropbox is a solution for the multi-platform multi-device file sharing part (if you trust them), but Owncloud offers groupware too. And a CalDAV server and a CardDAV server. My calendar and address book on all of my devices sync with my personal Owncloud server, not Google. On Linux, I use Thunderbird for this with the Lightning and CardDav plugins. It has other applications, but those are the ones that are the most crucial and empowering to me.
