Dropbox benefits

I do a lot with social media, but my primary job is being a home inspector.  Today I did my first inspection where dropbox was an integral part of the process.  Up until now I carried my laptop with me to each inspection.  I recorded notes and took photos as I went through the house and then would stop back at the laptop to update the report.
     Today that changed.  I put the report on my Droid tablet and on the laptop, both in the dropbox folder.  I used the tablet as I went through the process.  I filled out the report and took photos with the tablet.  Once I saved the report on my tablet it automatically updated the same report on the laptop.  At the end of the inspection I wrapped up the loose ends on the laptop and viola!  The inspection report was complete with photos, ready to email.
