What is unique about RemoteData Access?
While Remote Access via the client and viewer applications (desktop and applet), provides complete remote access including a full graphical view of host desktop, it requires significant bandwidth resources. RemoteData is a ‘thin client’, which is browser based, and allows for faster connectivity to data on the host computer.
It is a great way to access emails, share pictures and data on your computer with others without a need to upload it to an online storage service.
