The Best Free Remote Access Tools for Windows, Mac

Posted on January 21, 2013 by Kara Dunlap in Blog

A good remote access tool doesn’t have to cost you a dime. There are plenty of great free tools available, and many of them are downright excellent. In this review, I examine seven quite popular free remote access tools accessible for Windows and, in four situations, Mac consumers. The majority of the complimentary tools indexed here have paid versions that offer extra features (including support for online printing) or licensing (extra host computers or clients). For some users, the paid variation is the just true option.

As you learn about each appliance, you’ll notice that I put a countless focus on remote printing. I count on remote access tools every day, and in most situations I have to be able to pattern to my remote PC. For someone that would like to confirm their home/office email account or view documentation from outside the workplace, all of the the utilities here works fine. But for people trying to acquire some serious work done, remote printing is the contract breaker.
