Accesing your PC on android devices

Do you want to send a forgotten email or file from your home PC to your office or elsewhere. This is how to do it.

Using GOOGLE CHROME REMOTE DESKTOP

You will need an android version(4.0 and above) and a PC or laptop with the chrome browser installed
  1. Go to google play-store on your android device. Tap the search icon on the top right corner of the app and search for REMOTE DESKTOP. Select and install CHROME REMOTE DESKTOP on your android device.
  2.  Open up Chrome and head to CHROME REMOTE DESKTOP. Install the extension by clicking the button free and agreeing to the terms.
  3. The extension should launch once installed. Click details on CHROME REMOTE DESKTOP. Launch the app from here.
  4. Under my computer  click the get started and enable remote connections. Chrome will then download the chrome remote desktop host installer. Click this to install it.
  5. Once installed you will need to choose a minimum six-digit PIN to secure your remote connection. Type this in twice and then again to enable remote connections.
  6. At this point Google warns you to check your PCs power settings as your PC will not be accessible from a remote location if it is not turned on. To adjust these settings in Windows hit start+X and then choose power options. Here you will be able to set your PC not to sleep.
  7. Launch the app on your Android device and select your PC or laptop from the list provided. Enter the six-digit PIN for that device, you can also select not to have to enter it again.(You are recommended to leave this unchecked for security reasons)
  8. The app will then try and connect to your PC.
  9. If it will not connect then this is likely down due to network settings. Try getting it to work at home first or disable your PCs firewall
