Access your Files while Travelling

While travelling if you have remote access to your files then you are actually updated everywhere. Protect and Access experts would guide on how you can access files while travelling:

It is easy to get your files while travelling as there are several subscription based or even free programs which sets up the connection with couple of clicks. These would help you log into the home system from the browser on the remote computer.  

These programs allow you to work on the home system as if you are in front of it. Below given some remote access programs that would help you access files:



LogMeIn is a utility which offers a free version that is meant for Macs as well as Windows PCs for remote control of the desktop and a pro version which enables remote printing, file transfer and other features.

GoToMyPC is a service based on subscription whose prices vary depending on the kind of usage for a system. Ensure that you consider how often you would be traveling or accessing the files remotely from the computer. This offers similar sophisticated features like drop and drag. This feature is also there in the paid version of LogMeIn Pro.

UltraVNC is a free program which can be easily configured and it uses Virtual Network Computing technology which is used for remote desktop sharing. It also offers several advanced features like encryption plugins, graphics drivers and Windows authentication. However the configuration can be difficult.   

Network Attached Storage is also an option to share files. If you do not control remotely or even manage the home system and want to just access shared files via net, you can make use of the NAS device which is also known as NAS box. It is a mini file server which is connected to home network through Ethernet to home router. These devices offer file access remotely through web browsers or FTP. This also holds good for sharing of files as well backup for several PCs.   

Use syncing and online Backup Services

You can avail cloud computing too. It is apt for accessing files remotely without having to set up any hardware. The devices are also configured thereby helping you to access the files easily. This is helpful for syncing Web apps and online backup. Online backup would provide offsite storage as well as allow you to download files individually form the web browser or even mobile app. The file syncing services as well as applications are designed specifically to keep important documents with you as well as access it wherever you would be going.

Set up own server

You can even set up your own server but it is one of the expensive solutions. It is time consuming but offers maximum control.   

But cloud computing is simple, fast as well as increases the trouble of installing things. It is highly secure. You would have to just figure out best plan which would suit the PC requirements.
