Access your computer's files from anywhere

Chrome Remote Desktop is a free app developed for use with Google’s Chrome web browser. Designed to connect users to their desktop or Chromebook files from another computer, Chrome Remote Desktop allows users to access their document directly from the Chrome browser regardless of where they are or what operating system they use. Whether on Windows, Mac or Linux, users can link their content temporarily or on a long-term basis to maximize convenience and optimize their time.

See your files, wherever you are

When files are saved to your computer’s hard drive, they can only be accessed from that computer unless you save them somewhere else first. This usually means that if you need to travel for business or work from home, you would need to save the files to a portable hard drive or USB drive first, before connecting it to another computer. With Chrome Remote Desktop, however, users can access their desktop computer from a remote location directly through their browser. That means files, documents and more are all up for grabs.

Convenient and safe

Chrome Remote Desktop is a simple solution to working while travelling and it makes accessing your files much easier. It’s not just practical, though; it’s safe too. In fact, all connection are fully secured and computers can be made available on a short-term or long-term basis depending on how you use it. That means only you can access it when you want to—no one else.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
