Parallels Access

Parallels Access provides you with a simple way to remotely connect to a computer and control it using either an iOS or Android mobile device or another PC. With Parallels Access it's easy to provide remote assistance to your friends or access your home computer from work. All you need is a valid account and a working Wi-Fi or 3G/LTE connection.

Configuring the application is not difficult at all and to be more precise, there is nothing much you must do aside from logging in to your account. And if you prefer not creating one, you can also login via Facebook or Google, but note that Parallels Access will ask for permission to access some information.

By default, the desktop agent is set to run in the system tray, running in the background without interrupting your work. With just a click, you can turn off access to your PC from the tray menu and open the 'Preferences' section to configure the program's behavior.

Needless to say that the Parallels Access mobile app must be installed on your handheld device. Once the connection is set, you will be able to use software installed on your computer as if they were native iOS or Android apps and even place shortcuts to the home screen. You can control the computer clipboard and manage files remotely.

Parallels Access also enables you to control a PC from another workstation using a web interface. Provided the agent is installed and running on the target machine, you just have to enter your online account on the Parallels Access website and you will be able to view and control the remote PC as if you were sitting right in front of it.

The major advantage of Parallels Access is that it provides non-stop access to your PC, ensuring a secure connection. You can launch applications, transfer files or view them on your handheld device, be it an Android phone, an iPhone or an iPad.

The desktop agent facilitates the access to the target system, waiting for remote devices to log in and access it. With Parallels Access you get instant access to your PC no matter where you are.
