Rsync is a good tool for backups.

Yes but what I want is to rsync from my workstation to the freebox AND rsync from my laptop to the freebox. I can add simulmtaneously 2 files from each computer and as a result I want all the computers AND the freebox having the 2 files. rsync is not the right tool for that, isn't it ?

If the files never conflict between the two sources, then rsync will work just fine. If there are conflicts between the workstation and the laptop, what do you want it to do? In that case, you need a versioning system (eg git) more than rsync or similar.
