Chrome Remote Desktop
Category: Screen Sharing / Remote Access
Has it ever happened that you want to access your PC, but you can’t as you are not nearby? Well, since we rely on computers for almost everything nowadays, this is a pronounced issue for most of us. There can be hundreds of desktop sharing apps but not something as less intrusive as Chrome Remote Desktop. Compatible with Linux, macOS, Windows, and Chromebooks, assuming that it runs Google Chrome, the app supports it.
With AES encryption and a PIN to access the desktop, Chrome Remote Desktop lets you access one or more desktops with relative ease. It does have some limitations such as no file transfer, remote printing capabilities, or session recording, but it does get your job done. The app does require installing a Chrome extension on the desktops as well as quality internet to access seamlessly, but it works smoothly, otherwise.
