How is Chrome Remote Desktop Beta useful to me?
I was so amazed when I first came across this great application. I always wondered how could I take some technical help from my sister sitting in Madhya Pradesh while I myself stay in Delhi. Chrome Remote Desktop Beta made my task so much easy. All we did is we both installed Chrome Remote Desktop Beta in our Google Chrome browsers and connected our Pcs through the application. After the connection was made, she was able to access my PC from her own (as if she is working face-to-face on my PC) and managed to repair all technical flaws in my PC. That is how I was able to repair my PC without calling a technician and paying extra bucks to him.
Chrome Remote Desktop Beta is a very good application to provide temporary remote connections to computers. You can connect to the internet from anywhere and use this exciting app to share your PC with other people on the internet. It also provides a remote access to computers.
