Rook · July 9, 2015

Been using this and TeamViewer for a while. Chrome Remote Desktop has less features and commands than TeamViewer but it works fine. You can control your PC, tap & hold to drag files with your mouse, you will have a keyboard like your normal iOS keyboard and so on.

Here's the TeamViewer tutorial made by : http://iosgods.com/topic/10889-how-to-control-your-pcmac-from-your-iphoneipadipod-touch/

Instructions - how to setup Chrome Remote Desktop:
Step 1: First of all, you will need Chrome Browser so you can install this app: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp?hl=en

Step 2: Once it's installed, click on 'Launch App'.

Step 3: Now click on 'Get Started' from the 2nd option. Grant it access to your Google account.

Step 4: Now click on "Enable remote connections".

Step 5: Install the file that just downloaded (chromeremotedesktophost.msi). And now you will be asked to enter a PIN which will be required when someone tries to access this computer.

Step 6: Now that everything is setup on your PC, you will need to install Chrome Remote Desktop app on your iPhone or iPad or Android.

Step 7: Once you have installed it, you will need to login using the Google account which you granted access to Chrome Remote Desktop otherwise your computer won't appear in the My Computers tab.

If everything is done correctly, you should see your PC which you then can connect to easily. Simply enter the PIN you set in Step 5 and make it remember the PIN so you can connect to it with just a click next time.

Enjoy!
