I appreciate that, but you could also recommend he consider the program I mentioned. It will do so much more for him. In addition to your data files, and documents he creates, pictures he takes, etc... can all be synced across multiple devices, and each one can have it's own profile. I know this doesn't answer your question. The problem I see is that devices may be difficult to find when plugged into a network or computer. We have so many types, and they may all be seen in different ways.
Here is another consideration. You will need two controls ... one to copy to the device(s) and one to copy from them. If you trigger these from buttons, consider this:
The user presses the button to copy the files from the desktop to the tablet.
Then the user goes out and does work all day, updating the file on the tablet.
Finally, the user comes back to the office, and accidently hits the button to copy the files from the desktop to the tablet. Now all of the day's work is lost ....
The GoodSync program eliminates this because it always transfers the latest file. Also, it can be set to perform this automatically, so no button needs to be pushed.
I appreciate what you would like to do, but the user may want to consider an immediate, alternate, solution because the cost is so low. I think you can even get them a free trial.
