Chrome Remote Desktop vs HopToDesk
Chrome Remote Desktop is a basic remote access tool from Google that allows users to remotely access and control a device over the internet using the Chrome browser or a Chromebook. Users must sign in to their Google account to setup remote desktop access.
HopToDesk 的定位
Chrome Remote Desktop is free and simple, and it suits personal use well. HopToDesk covers the same ground without requiring a Google account or a browser, and adds the pieces a support team needs: file transfer, chat, unattended access, and a Dashboard for managing devices and tickets.
