The remote connection has become one of the main highlights when coming into this digital age. The advantage of connecting two computers and accessing each other based on the source and the receiver is one of the most significant achievements as this makes us connect and use resources very efficiently. While the internet is an essential part of this secure connection between two computers or devices, you also need an application that makes the connection possible. Here we have the CloudBerry Remote Assistant to do that for us.
(Overview) Introducing CloudBerry Remote Assistant Review
What is CloudBerry Remote Assistant?
CloudBerry Remote Assistant is a software for remote connection on windows from CloudBerry Lab, which offers to connect two computers securely over the internet. To use the features, the application must be downloaded and installed on both computers. The connection is made using SSL encryption.

On the right side, you can enter the details of the computer you want to connect to by entering that computer’s ID and password and click on the connect button.
On each side, you have an identification if some connection is coming to your computer or you are sending one; this ensures you know if the connection is made. The application also allows other customization which you can make before making a connection. They include muting the audio, viewing options (full control or view only) you can also. All these can be found from the tools option from the menu bar.

Conclusion:

Most attractive is providing such a high level of features yet keeping the application not only simple but also small. CloudBerry Remote Assistant is free, and the only thing that is pulling down is the non-ability of the application to connect cross platforms like Windows to Mac and so on. Nevertheless, this new application has a long way to go and will surely be able to put itself on top.
