As a possible alternative to Dropbox, might I suggest Filesdirect? It's a simple, secure way to send large files and store them online. I'm quite fond of it! :) Great comments and some awesome suggestions! As a possible alternative to Dropbox, might I suggest Filesdirect?

But the purpose is not to do an entire project and worry about battery & finding other power sources. A client could ask a developer to do a critical fix, quick changes to his code. For a designer: paper sketches and wireframes, mock-ups, changes to an existing design. These things usually take less than one hour.

It's flush with your body so it doesn't make you look like the hunchback of Notre Dame, but it has a generous protected laptop section and a good amount of small organizer pockets for electronics. You should also check out Booq, they make laptop/electronics-specific traveling bags. @Young, in terms of distractions, it's up to the individual - for me, visual activity in the background is fine, and my in-ear earbuds w/ music playing cancel out much of the noise. But a library is an excellent place for some distraction-free focus. Regarding talking to clients, yes, that's one difficulty you face - what I've done is actually take my cell phone or laptop (if it's Skype) outside the library and talk. It's usually really quiet around libraries - much more so than a busy street outside a cafe. Another option is co-work or shared working spaces, or sometimes libraries let you reserve and use study rooms for free. Jacob, I agree, there's a lot here for a followup article. I would love to do it. @naren, I personally use the 22 liter Yerba backpack by Patagonia (their smallest daypack).

Common problems with mobile offices and how to deal with them. Oleg can definitely answer those questions for you because he works with a mobile office often. @Young: That wouldn’t be a bad follow-up, actually.
