Use Google Remote Desktop for Remote Access to work compute


Here are the steps (first do it on your office computer and later configure it at home):


  1. Open https://remotedesktop.google.com/home 
  2. Login to your Google account if you are not logged in with your Gmail user and password
  3. Press “Get Started”

  4. Press the down arrow to download and install the software

  5. Press “Add to chrome” and let the plugin install

  6. Press “Add Extension”

  7. Download the installer (MSI File) and run it

  8. Press “Accept and Install” and answer “Yes” to the “open download” prompt

  9. Let the software install and answer “yes” to the popup
  10. Name your computer so you could remember it when connecting, and click “Next”


  1. Choose a pin you could remember (do not save it later on when connecting as this is the only thing preventing someone who steals your Google credentials from connecting to your work computer)
  2. Remove the “help improve” button (to stop Google from snooping) and press “start “
  3. Click “Yes” if you are prompted to approve the installation


And that’s it!!!

In order to connect you just need to open the https://remotedesktop.google.com site on your remote / home computer, connect to the work computer and enter the pin


Please note that this will be a bit slower than remote Desktop as it is web based
