Chrome: Over the weekend, Google unveiled Chrome Remote Desktop, a new Chrome extension that allows you to remotely control and manage another Mac, Windows, or Linux system through Google Chrome, as long as you have the extension installed on both systems. Chrome Remote Desktop is currently in beta, and it requires a human be present at both systems in order to work. Once installed, you can initiate a sharing session and the add-on will provide a one-time authentication code that you can provide to another computer, like a support technician looking to connect to your computer, or a friend troubleshooting an issue remotely. Once the other party enters the access code, they'll be able to see your screen, and be able to access your files, folders, and applications, all through Chrome. The process works in reverse as well: you can remotely troubleshoot a friend or family member's PC as long as they provide you the access code.
Google says that the service is currently for person-to-person sharing, and they're looking into expanding it to people who want to access their own computers when they're away from them in the future. In the meantime, Chrome Remote Desktop is available now anywhere Chrome works. For more remote troubleshooting apps, check out our article on how to manage another PC remotely.
