"Dropbox helped me convince my old boss that I could work from home."

Can you talk more about this? How do you use Dropbox for telecommuting and how did you convince your boss it was an effective tool for telecommuting?

Before Dropbox our files were stored on our individual desktop computers. My work had to be done at the office because we did not have laptops. With Dropbox, I could work on all the same stuff from home I just had to install the software on my home computer. There are obviously other solutions...like a laptop...but for us, dropbox was simple and worked well.
