   Well, I disagree with you.  Most of my work documents are Excel files   
   and they just don't translate well to Sharepoint when you want to work   
   on them.  Keeping backup copies on Sharepoint is one thing, but leaving   
   my working versions there is something I'm unwilling to do.   
      
   This issue is much like the one being argued to death right now.  You   
   prefer the cloud method of working documents and I prefer the local   
   method of working copies.  Both have their pros and cons, but at least   
   we have a choice on how we want to implement it.  The same goes for   
   transferring files between iOS devices and PCs.  Some people prefer   
   initiating the transfer from the iPhone side and some people prefer   
   initiating the transfer from the PC side.  Both methods work but the   
   pros of one method outweigh the pros of the other method for each   
   person.
