Here are some of the top, most popular features we've introduced in 2019. Make sure you're using the latest version of the Splashtop apps and streamers so you'll have access to all the latest features. Features vary by subscription plan.
Drag-and-Drop File Transfer
Transfer files between computers quickly and easily with new drag-and-drop file transfer. Instead of opening the File Transfer dialog, transfer files by using your mouse or trackpad to select and drag a file or group of files from your local computer to a destination on the remote computer screen in your remote access session window.
You can also copy files in the other direction by dragging them from the remote computer into a folder or desktop of your local computer.
Session Recording
Now you can record remote access sessions. Use the new Session Recording button in the top of screen control bar on your remote access window to start and stop recording.
Recording files are saved to your local computer, in the Documents/Splashtop Business folder. They are saved in WebM media file format on Windows or mp4 on Mac to be easily viewable on your computer. The filename (e.g. Splashtop_Recording_20190116_154246_sjc-ai_01.webm) includes the name of the computer you connected to as well as the date and time, making it easy to locate specific recordings. The files are video only (no audio).
