Technically, there is: iFolder. It has struggled quite a bit, but it's
still completely open and just waiting for someone to Do The Right
Thing and get it fixed up a bit and offer a service. The biggest
problem that iFolder has is no one is providing hosting for it. It's
free software, but it's a bear to get a server running and way more
hassle than most users are willing to put up with, even if they have
the means to do so.

Best,
