Best MAC Screen & File sharing for sharing Computers Office to Office? - GoFuckYourself.com

gleem · 11-06-2011, 08:50 AM

Got 2 offices now, need to be able to access both my main computers between the 2 offices I spend half my days at. What's the best way to get full access to both computers from either one... screen share and file transfer between the two? I'd be sharing 3 computers overall one is a PC two or MAC.

Insights appreciated

Logmein for screen sharing, dropbox for file sharing, evernote for note sharing

That's what I use

Waiting for DamianJ to show up to tell you that MAC and Mac are two totally different things.

Yeah, I see that as the cheap free-ish option, using free logmein, then a dropbox style file sharing deal to transfer files. GotomyPC is $100 a year and does both, not worth the money for an all in one?

Never tried GotomyPC because I started using Logmein first and never had the need to switch but GotomyPC looks pretty cool too. I guess it depends on your workflow as well

Your Mac can do this already I believe. Google File Sharing, Contact Sharing etc. If oyuhave a Time Capsule / Router you can store your files there and access it remotely, and you can use iCloud I think for everything else.

Isn't this the point of having and using their new iCloud service?

TeamViewer

If you can open up firewall access just use OSX screen sharing (which is VNC based). LMI sucked with source Macs with multiple monitors last timed I tried it.

iCloud has nothing to do with remote control.

HTH.
