preparing Paris presentation, no files... dropbox to the rescue

I've agreed to do a presentation for NGM's Parisian advertisers this coming week. So here I am sitting in Paris and I can't find all the image files I need. It is the weekend, there is no one in my office back in Tennessee, no one at the office in Washington. What do I do?

Well, I logged onto my desktop machine in TN using screen sharing, found the right images, resized them remotely and then saved them into a Dropbox folder. They appear almost instantly on my laptop drive in Paris. Now I can put them into the keynote address just as easily as if I was still in my office.

If you aren't using Dropbox, you should give it a try.
