Google's Chrome Remote Desktop sheds beta tag, adds new features
Google’s Chrome Remote Desktop, a free browser add-on for Chrome is officially out of beta, and to celebrate, the search giant has added two new features to the service.
Chrome Remote Desktop provides exactly what it sounds like—the ability to gain full access to another desktop PC running Windows (Vista and above including Windows
, OS X (OS X 10.6 and above), or Linux (including Chrome OS) operating systems via the Internet. Chrome Remote Desktop is not available on the Android oriOS versions of Google’s browser.
Mac and Windows users can grab essential files stuck on a PC back at home through Remote Desktop, and all three PC platforms can use the add-on to provide tech support for a family member or friend living far away.
As part of Chrome Remote Desktop’s official release, Google added the ability to copy and paste between two remotely connected computers; Windows users can now share audio in real time. It’s not clear if the audio feature will be coming to Mac and Linux users in the near future, but Google says it has more functionality planned for Remote Desktop.
