Have you ever been somewhere and remembered you left a file on your computer at home? Do you just need to see what your parents are talking about when they say, “That thing just won’t go over there?”
I’ve been using LogMeIn products for a number of years now, both for work and for personal use. There are a number of products including LogMeIn Pro for the road warriors out there, Rescue for helpdesks, Hamachi for VPN access, and even a backup client. But what is perhaps most people start with is LogMeIn Free.
It’s classic remote access from anywhere you can find a web browser. I’ve used their free version for:
- Helping my wife and father resolve a few issues on their computers,
- being able to see a file I had left on my home computer while I was on the road,
- and even testing e-mail or domain settings from the office during late night migrations we IT-folk are so thrilled with.
If a picture is worth a thousands words, then LogMeIn Free must be a feature-length movie. I’ve enjoyed the flexibility and convenience of being able to help others and keep my frustration levels in check – as well as access my home systems at will and without hassle.
LogMeIn products have allowed me to work when I need to work and focus on me-time when needed – without worry. It works on both Windows and Mac OS X systems, so I now have one provider for multiple systems. I would highly suggest you try it today, because just don’t get any better than free!
