Connect a drive and work locally
If you have files on the PC you're using to connect to your remote PC that you need to use - a PowerPoint you need to save on a network drive, a spreadsheet you need to submit as an expenses claim or an application you want to install - you can access the local drives on your remote PC. Click the Connect Drives button on the LogMeIn toolbar, then look under network drives in Explorer. By default only hard drives will be connected; use the Preferences menu to enable connecting removable and network drives as well. Each drive on the local PC will show up as a folder in Explorer.
