Yeah, I'd much rather deal with a local desktop and a remote filesystem, for sure.

I'd like that too, but can you give me a working example that is not based around using a VPN, or editing documents on the browser?

(which are both viable, but there is a different number of drawbacks to each)

A remote filesystem over a VPN ought to be reasonable. I can't think of another reasonable way to do it.

Technically any files-over-https might work? I'm thinking Sharepoint, etc.
