Parallels Access For Mac

Parallels Access is an unobtrusive Mac OS X application that offers you the possibility to remotely access your computer at any time, through a web browser (Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome and Opera are supported), or by using its iPad, iPhone, or Android companion apps.

The utility provides seamless desktop access, so you will be able to effortlessly both access documents and manage applications. However, Parallels Access cannot connect if your Mac is in sleep mode, so you must make sure your computer will always be up and running (deactivate the energy saver settings).

Parallels Access comes with its own installer that takes care of everything, but keep in mind that launching the utility for the first time might take a while. The app does not integrate uninstallation tools, but there is an online guide that shows you how to remove the app from your system.

To get started, you must login to your Parallels account in order to add your current machine to the list of accessible devices. For your convenience, Parallels Access also enables you to connect using your Google or Facebook accounts.

When you connect to a computer remotely via Parallels Access, the app offers a set of tools that can improve your overall experience: you can switch to full screen mode, you get to use a zoom tool and a remote clipboard, and you can make use of common shortcuts. Finding your way around is quite intuitive, but you can also read the online Parallels Access documentation.

By default, Parallels Access will display a notification on the remotely controlled computer when a new connection is established, but you can also decide to automatically lock the desktop when working remotely to avoid confusions.

Parallels Access allows you to connect all your devices to a single account in order to ensure that you will always have access to all your files and apps, regardless of your current location in the world. As long and the computer in question is up and running, Parallels Access allows you to view and manage its desktop from a browser of your choice, on other desktop workstations, or on mobile devices.
