If you only need to transfer files, you can use this instead of opening the remote desktop in a full viewing window. Alternatively, you can open an Explorer-style file transfer window that lets you copy files in both directions.
Unlike all other apps we tested, which offer this feature on Windows only, RemotePC also offers it on the Mac. Rival apps, such as GoToMyPC and TeamViewer, offer far more elaborate toolbars giving access to fine-tuning features, whiteboards, and audio options that RemotePC doesn't have at all, but, for many users, RemotePC's simplicity adds to its appeal.Īs with other modern remote-access apps, you can copy files back and forth between local and remote machines merely by dragging them between their respective windows. A simple menu at the top of the window lets you set the resolution, send keystrokes, write a temporary sticky note, open a chat window, record a video, restart the machine (optionally in safe mode), and perform other standard remote functions all on the remote computer. When you access a remote machine, RemotePC opens a window that shows the remote machine's desktop.

Other remote-access apps, like our consumer-level Editors' Choice GoToMyPC, can send an email for you with the access code included. This isn't very convenient since you need to copy both a twelve-digit Access ID and a four-digit key into an e-mail or text message. You can also generate one-time access codes that you can send to other users who need to access your machine temporarily. After you assign a name to your machine and create a password-style access code, you can connect from any other machine via the app. You can also configure your local machine for access at any time via a built-in button. When you launch the app, a simple interface lists available remote machines. You set up RemotePC by downloading and installing a client app on the local and remote machines.

RemotePC also offers a free one-user plan for access to one other remote computer. The Enterprise plan adds security and management features. Team and Enterprise plans, which allow an unlimited number of users to access up to 100 computers, cost $49.50 for the first year and $499.50 thereafter. After the first year, this plan costs $69.50 per year. We tested the Consumer/SOHO (Small Office or Home Office) plan currently on sale for $6.95 for the first year (for one user accessing up to 10 machines).
RemotePC works equally well on PCs or Macs and is an effective, low-cost app that you should seriously consider if you need remote access capabilities.
For example, if all you want to do is transfer files between two machines, you can do so via a simple file-manager interface. Instead, it gives you a simple interface that never gets in your way. Compared with high-end products like our top picks, GoToMyPC and TeamViewer, RemotePC doesn't provide feature-packed toolbars or whiteboard capabilities. RemotePC minimizes headaches and maximizes convenience with fast, reliable access to remote machines at an impressively low price.
