Desktopable

When you want to help a novice repair or optimize their computer, the best way is to find a straightforward desktop sharing solution and take over their machine. Desktopable is such an app, and it is extremely intuitive so as to be operated even by those with very little PC skills.

It needs to be emphasized from the beginning that you do not need to install this utility on your computer before you can make it work. On the contrary, you can just store it on your removable USB thumb drive and run it to remotely connect to a computer whenever the occasion arises.

This tool functions the same way TeamViewer does, it assigns an ID and password to each PC it runs on, so you need to know the credentials of the target machine to establish a successful connection. Also, you are advised to only accept connection requests from people you personally know to avoid any potential malicious attacks.

Once you took over the remote computer, you can enter full screen mode or resize the window, depending on your preferences.

Desktopable also comes with a few utilities meant to simplify your work, such as a dedicated file manager that makes it easier for you to explore all the documents on the remote location.

Due to the integrated chat, you can send and receive messages in real-time without requiring a specialized third-party app.

Overall, Desktopable functions as a stripped-down version of TeamViewer, which makes it ideal for computer novices who would be overwhelmed by too many buttons or features. It allows you to quickly connect to a remote machine so you can operate it as if you were standing in front of it, while also benefiting from the integrated file manager.
