Just another voice added to the previous replies:
 
Like you, I have a tightly controlled computer at work. No Internet or 
network access. Here's what I do: 

I keep a copy of my desktop .mlo file on a USB stick. I then plug this into 
my work computer and do a quick (5 seconds) MLO file sync. The option for 
setting that up is "Sync to other data file located on my computer, flash 
drive or LAN" in the Sync Profile dialog. I then unplug the USB stick and 
work with the local (sync target) copy. Before leaving the office I sync to 
the stick again and bring it home. Another sync on my home computer from 
the stick and I'm good to go at home again. Once the home file is sync'd, 
Cloud Sync automatically pushes/pulls everything between my home desktop 
and my phone. 

It sounds awfully awkward and convoluted when it's written down, but once 
you get into the rhythm it all works really well and is quite quick. As a 
by-product, I have three separate copies (backups in different locations) 
of my MLO file: home, office and (encrypted) USB stick. Also, if I'm ever 
stuck somewhere that's not home or office, I have a copy on my USB stick 
that goes with me everywhere. Any questions about the setup, or things that 
might be a deal breaker for you, please ask. I've got a few workarounds for 
some of the inevitable little snags with this setup.
