On January 12th, Google released the iOS version of "Chrome Remote Desktop". It supports iPhone/iPad/iPod touch with iOS 7.0 or later, and has been optimized for iPhone 6/6 Plus. The Android version was released in April 2014, but from now on, you will be able to access your PC's desktop on your iPhone or iPad.
What can be done by remotely controlling a Mac or Windows with an iOS device? I installed it immediately.
To use Chrome Remote Desktop, in addition to the iOS version of the app, you need a Google account and a Chrome web browser. If you already have a web browser installed, download the Chrome Remote Desktop app from the Chrome Web Store.
Click the blue "+ Free" button in the upper right corner of the window to download. The Chrome Remote Desktop app supports Windows, Mac, and Linux (Beta version)If you select "Add" in the confirmation dialog, the Chrome Remote Desktop icon will appear in the app launcher. Click this. App approval is required the first time you open the Chrome Remote Desktop app.
After that, the login screen will be displayed, so log in with the Google account you use on your iOS device. Then click Approve.
Next, enable remote access to your PC. When you open the Chrome Remote Desktop app, the setting screen will be displayed, so select the "Start using" button in the "My computer" box. When the remote connection options appear, click "Enable remote connections".
When remote connection is enabled, the host installer will be downloadedAfter the installation is complete, set a PIN code of 6 or more digits to access the PC from the iOS terminal. . Using a PIN allows for a more secure connection than using your regular Google account password. If your account gets hijacked, your PC is likely safe.
Of course, it is safer to use a different PIN for each PC to be registered, and avoid numbers that are easy to guess, such as phone numbers or birthdays, or numbers used for other servicesOn the host side If you register the PIN, the setting on the PC side is completed. If you have canceled the sleep setting in the idle state, you can remotely control it from any place by turning on the power of the PC.
Next is the setting for the iOS version of the app. Unlike the PC version, this can be easily connected in two steps. First, get it from the App Store, launch the app and tap "Login". If you log in to your Google account, you should see a list of the PCs you just registered on the desktop.
If you don't see it, check if you are using the same Google account as when you logged in on your PC, and if your PC is on and not in sleep modeTap this Then, the authentication screen for the host will appear, so enter the PIN set on the remote computer. If you tap "Connect" and wait about 10 seconds, the PC screen will be displayed happily.
The connection on the PC side is a bit cumbersome, but once set up, remote access is possible simply by clicking a button and entering the PIN.
