That means you could complete a form on your iPad and email it out as a PDF without having to print it, fill it out by hand, and scan it back in!

Why would I use dropbox?
Well, dropbox is awesome. But most of the features of Dropbox work in the Google Drive app as well. So, for the most part we recommend sticking to the Google Drive app for file storage and access, but it never hurts to have a backup option.

When do I need VMWare?
Definitely not all of the time. The iPad itself is a very powerful machine and can probably do most anything a computer could, with a few limitations. Some GREAT uses of VMWare are access items on your shared network drives (if they are not in Google Drive), opening a website that uses Adobe Flash, or printing from your iPad if necessary.
