DesktopNow

DesktopNow is a handy little tool that lets you share documents and files straight from your personal computer over the internet. It's super convenient for those times when you need to access something important while you're on the go!

Easy to Use Interface

The interface looks a lot like the browser you're using, which makes it feel pretty familiar. It has two tree-view panels, making it easy to navigate through your files. However, some users have mentioned that it might feel like it's missing some features.

Setting Up Access

Before you can dive into your files and folders on your computer, you'll need to set up a specific folder for this purpose. Plus, don’t forget to allow access connections from both the internet and local network so everything runs smoothly!

Accessing from Mobile Devices

If you want to access your files from a mobile device, just open a browser and type in the local network address. You will have to enter your username and password, but keep in mind there’s always a risk when logging into public networks.

Security Features

It would be great if DesktopNow included better security features, like an activity log to monitor any suspicious login attempts. That way, you'd feel more secure when accessing your files remotely.

On-Screen Keyboard Functionality

The app also comes with an on-screen keyboard that you can use whenever you're trying to access files on your mobile phone or tablet. This feature is super useful if you're working on a device without a physical keyboard and need something urgently.

Performance Issues

While getting into the shared directory works really well, viewing and interacting with your desktop can be slow. If you're using an older mobile device, you might even struggle to preview programs properly.

A Great Tool for Professionals

If you’re someone who works in both an office setting and at home—or travels often—DesktopNow can be a lifesaver! It keeps all your important documents ready for access so you won't have those stressful moments of dealing with a malfunctioning laptop or misplaced tablet.
