Right, the tablet would need to touch base with DropBox to know it should sync, then it will sync locally as per the page I linked/quoted above.


So in summary, so long as it can check home base, DropBox will sync, and keep files in sync via the local network on all OSs. The only weakness (and I agree on this hiccup, but accept it as price of entry) is the need to check home for directions on what to do.

I use it, and it works great for me. When I am at home my tablet (which is wifi only) syncs up everything and when I arrive where I am speaking my tablet has what i need on it, regardless of internet connection.
