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

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.
