Google's iOS app allows people to access their computers remotely

Google today launched a very interesting app for iOS, the Chrome Remote Desktop.

As the name implies, we are talking about an option for you to have remote access to your Mac / PC through Chrome. It works like this: open Chrome on your computer, install the Chrome Remote Desktop app extension, available on the Chrome Web Store, and follow the on-screen setup instructions. Then, open the iOS app and make the connection between the two.

It is worth noting that the app has been available for Android since last year. Regardless, it is a simple and inexpensive alternative for those who do not want to invest in a more elaborate remote access tool.
