Here's how you can remotely access another computer over the internet with Splashtop.

Have you ever wanted to use your computer but didn’t have it in front of you?

Thankfully, remote access software makes it possible for you to connect to your computer from another device and control it as if you were sitting in front of it.

There are times when remote access is convenient and others when it is a real lifesaver. Today, with so many of us working remotely, it’s becoming more vital that we have a reliable way to remotely access our work computers from home or on the road so we can get our work done. It's also become important for colleges and K-12 schools who want to provide students with remote access to school computers.

With a remote desktop app like Splashtop Business Access, you can view and control your computer remotely from any other device, at any time.

The best part, once you’re set up with Splashtop you can launch a remote desktop connection with a simple click.
