TeamViewer is one of the main tools that users use to access their computer remotely or for a third party to do it for them, for example, in case they need technical assistance. Its security and easy operation make accessing our files from another device very simple since, to use our computer, it is not strictly necessary to be in front of it. Remote desktop apps allow us to access it from our smartphone. TeamViewer is one of the most popular, but it is not the only one. Here are the three best alternatives.
TeamViewer is free, although it also has a paid version for professionals. It is an app to remotely access our computer from our mobile phone or other device, both to Windows PCs and Macs from mobile phones with iOS and Android operating systems. It has double authentication factor and other functions that guarantee remote connection. However, there are other very useful applications that are excellent alternatives to TeamViewer.
