Remotely Access and Control another Computer with Chrome Remote Desktop


It is not possible for anyone to travel with their own personal computer all the time and if it is a desktop then you can’t even imagine doing this. For some or the other reasons, it becomes necessary for us to log back into our own system and if you can’t be present at your system then at that occasion comes Remote Sharing handy.
There are lots of methods which one can make use of to remotely access and control a computer, most require installing some software in both the systems. I came across this handy Chrome extension called Chrome Remote Desktop that can help you do the same thing and that too easily and without installing any other special remote sharing software.

All you need to do is just install this extension into your own computer as well as the computer to be accessed (you might need the assistance of someone at the other end). When you are done doing this, you just need to login into Chrome with your google address.
chrome-remote-desktop-access-code
Now you are all set for the remote sharing and control of the remote computer. Start the app, which will now provide you with an Access Code. You need to provide this code to the person assisting you on the other end, entering which into the same app there, will connect you remotely to the other computer. Now you have two options either to share your computer or remotely control the other computer (the options which you will see on the app itself).

This is all, you are now connected! You can remotely control the other system, view files, run apps or just let your system be controlled. The advantage of using this extension is that it is very easy to operate and doesn’t require any third party software (since most users use Chrome today on their machines).
