DropBox is my solution too, but the issue if Geoff's trying to avoid the cloud is that he'll want to open files on his tablet when the cloud isn't available. The Dropbox app doesn't synchronise files locally to Android - it only fetches files from the cloud when you want them - so in a situation where Geoff had local wireless LAN but no internet Dropbox would be useless.
I also think that although Dropbox will synchronise over wifi, it only does so after the originating machine uploads. The other devices then get an updated index from the cloud and if the file is available on the LAN they fetch it from that rather than the internet. In other words, an active cloud connection is still needed even for local synchronisation.
