Left an important file on your office PC, or need to fix a relative's computer from home? LogMeIn Pro, from GoTo, installs on the computers you want to reach so you can control them from a browser, the desktop app or a phone, with file transfer and remote printing included.
Remote computer access
Pick a computer from your list and its desktop opens in a window, across all of its monitors if needed. During a session you can blank the remote screen, lock its keyboard, draw on a whiteboard and record the session.
Connections are protected with TLS and AES encryption. Signing in takes your LogMeIn account plus the remote computer's own password, and two-factor authentication can be turned on.
Remote-control and security settings
The desktop interface provides settings for remote control, security, and network configuration. These options let you adjust how the remote connection is set up and controlled.
- Use the remote-control options to configure the session.
- Give other users access to specific computers with their own permissions.
File transfer and remote printing
Drag files between the two computers, or print a document from the remote PC on the printer next to you. Plans also include 1 TB of cloud file storage and Bitdefender-powered antivirus for the connected computers.
Pros
- Remote control of an internet-connected computer
- SSL encryption for data sent over the internet
- Settings for remote control, security, and network configuration
- File transfer, remote printing and 1 TB cloud storage

Is there still a free version of LogMeIn?
No. LogMeIn Free ended in 2014; today it is LogMeIn Pro, a paid subscription by GoTo with plans for 2, 5 or 10 computers.
Can I reach my PC from a phone?
Yes. The LogMeIn mobile apps and any web browser can open a remote session.
Does LogMeIn support file transfers and remote printing?
Yes. Files can be moved between computers, and documents on the remote PC can print on your local printer.
Does it work with several monitors?
Yes. Multi-monitor display lets you view and switch between all screens of the remote computer.
