Network SolidWorks files and mobile users

I am wondering what everyone does for those users that work away from the office from time to time.

Do you create offline folders on the laptop for the users to work from and sync when in the office? If so, do you use the copy setting wizard and have two settings files on the laptop, one to use while in the office pointing to the network files and one to use while on the road to point to the offline folder locations?

Do you VPN into your companies network to access those files? This is what we do and it is very slow and frustrating waiting for SolidWorks to find the files.

I am looking for a better way to access those files that are in a network location while away from the office. Files such as Toolbox, custom properties files, design library and custom materials. I would like to use the offline folder and sync when in the office, just not sure how viable this option is and would like input from those that use them. I would also like other options if possible.

Thanks in advace
