Remotely - Access your desktop computer, browse & share your files
A CRAZY SIMPLE REMOTE FILE BROWSING APP
Connect your iPhone to your home or work Mac from anywhere and browse all of your files. No port forwarding or configuration required. Never be without that important file– just connect to your Mac; browse (or search) for the file you want; view, share, or even download it. Remotely also provides quick and easy access to your most recently accessed files - see recent and flagged files from the Remotely menubar menu.
HOW THIS FREE APP WORKS
This is the free helper app that runs on your Mac and allows Remotely on your iPhone to connect securely so that you can access all of your files from anywhere.
FEATURE PARTY
• Hassle-free configuration. Install the helper on your Mac, open Remotely for iOS and bam, your Mac is there. No ports to forward or firewall exceptions to configure. I won’t say it’s magic but it’s magic.
• Access most recently opened and flagged files from the menubar.
• Browse folders & volumes as if you were sitting in front of your computer. Documents, Downloads, Desktop, Music, Photos, Devices… it’s all there.
• View all types of files. Office, iWork, PDF, crazy video formats like mkv or whatever. There’s a full list on the website.
• Download files for offline viewing. In case your Mac isn’t available, or you’re in a tunnel or on an airplane or in the desert and you need that super important document.
• Email your files as binary attachments, or share them however you like using the native iOS share pop up thingy.
• Crazy secure. Your device is connected directly to your Mac over an encrypted connection. Your files are not traveling through someone else’s server, ever.
• Full Spotlight search with file type filtering. Again, just like you are sitting in front of your Mac.
REQUIREMENTS
• A Mac running OS X 10.10 and newer. Remotely only connects to Macs.
• The Remotely for iOS which is available for free via http://getremotely.com
• iCloud with Drive enabled. Remotely uses your iCloud account to make sure the Mac is yours. Note that the files don’t actually move through iCloud, this is just to do the connection magic we were talking about before. See our support page for more information.
