If you’re part of the growing mobile workforce, remote access to your files from anywhere means you never have to worry about forgetting something important. You can travel light and conduct business from virtually anywhere you have an internet connection. There are several ways to access your files, control your computer remotely, or manage your computer from anywhere. The method you choose depends on how you plan to access your files and what you need to do when you’re away from your desk.
Access your PC files from anywhere in the world
To access files remotely from anywhere without having to set up hardware, you can use cloud computing services, especially online backup and file sync web apps. Special file sync services and applications are designed to keep your most important documents accessible wherever you are.
Apple iCloud, Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive offer access, editing and sharing capabilities wherever you have internet. Basic plans are free, and additional storage is available for a small fee.
Online backup services offer automatic offsite storage of files and typically let you download individual files from a web browser or mobile app. Carbonite, Mozy, CrashPlan, and BackBlaze are a few to consider.
