(1-5 of 5)My Most Essential App
I work remotely at least 2 days a week and this gives me flexible hours and more freedom to work from anywhere. I can log onto my work PC from a laptop, tablet or even my phone. And since we don't have walk-in customers, I don't really need to be in the office daily. Today's work world is increasingly digital and cloud based, so there is no reason to spend the time driving to an office when I have my office with me via my tablet. And I can log onto my work computer and use GoToMyPC from it to reach the other computers on our network as well as the ones with GoToMyPC subscriptions all from one screen.
- Love to be able to print on my local printer. If I have documents that need to be printed, signed and mailed, I don't have to wait to go into the office.
- I can work remotely on my office PC just as if I were sitting in front of it.
- I can log onto our other devices from one remote connection.
- I don't see much that I would change. It works very well and the more complicated an app becomes, the harder it is to use. It already has a lot of features. It has even kept the FTP option if it's needed.

- It's allowed me to work remotely at any time of day. I can instantly access my PC at 6 AM if we have an emergency job come it. We repair water main breaks.
- The company owner can work from his 2nd home in another state without having to think about loss of revenue because he's not in the office.
- We are often in different locations need to push paperwork back and forth faster than email
- I work on my office computer from anywhere. All of my files are there along with the programs I need to run them. I prefer that to strictly cloud based apps.
- Most of our construction plans are far too large to email back and forth so drag and drop between computers is a must have feature. I used ftp at one time, but drag & drop is much nicer.
- I can invite other people to share my desktop when I need to work on a project in real time with a person who can not be present. Better than Zoom for me.
- I've been using GoToMyPC for over 20 years. Hard for me to find something unexpected. I use it daily, so it's my dependable tool for remote work, file transfer, remote printing, remote collaboration, and just being able to see my work computer as if I were sitting in front of it.
- I think we're at our max. I have 3 of our PCs running it in 3 different places.
- Ease of Use
- Logging on
- Printing
- Setting it up
- I never thought anything was hard.
But if you plan to work productively on a 6" cell phone, then you will be disappointed. My work computer has a 27" screen and it doesn't translate well to my cell. I guess it depends on how you plan to use the mobile interface. Without a keyboard, I have a hard time doing most work related documents.
Twenty Years and Counting
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been able to work at home and stay safe. But I am also able to access our estimator's computer directly to download plans and leave note directly on his desktop because his computers at his homes are also running GoToMyPC.
I've been using GoToMyPC since I first discovered it over 20 years ago when we were still using dial up & before 'drag & drop" was available - it worked well then, and it's gotten better all the time.
- Let's me work from my actual office computer's desktop
- Transfers large files from one computer to another - fast
- Let's me access our other remote computers within my first remote access so I don't have to go back and forth between logins.
- A voice or video feature might be nice on occasion
- Printing doesn't work on all of my remote computers
- Mostly happy with everything
If you work on an ipad, it's not always the best unless you have a keyboard.
I can use it on my phone for quick references or to email a file from my office computer, but it's not the greatest way to use the service. Just a stopgap. I usually carry a Surface that works great for remomte work, but sometimes I only have my phone. At least I have access, but using the screen "mouse" on my phone is a pain.
If you carry a laptop with you and it's your main work computer, you wouldn't need this service.

- Allows my boss to go to Florida for the winter and get work done because I can transfer files to him and leave him messages directly on his screen.
- Let's us work from home at any time - night, morning, etc - whenever it's convenient
- Let's me do IT fixes on the host computers as necessary. This is a really BIG plus. I can access the screen and get to the problems.
I looked at Microsoft product, but it requires all PC to run Windows Pro and only my Surface does that, so it was not for us.
- Remote login to on site computers
- Transferring large documents between remote computers
- Accessing files and central email
- Ability to communicate with workers from anywhere
- Being able to access files from my work computer on my phone
- Being able to invite our accountant to login to tax sites via our computers for filing when she couldn't access it from her device even with correct passwords

Changing printers is also simple.
I don't think much training would be necessary for anyone. Our company owner can use it without a problem and he's not tech savvy.
- Just logging into any of our connected computers is a one click process
- Printing to my remote computer where I am actually sitting is also a one click process
- File dragging and dropping to remote desktop - easy
- None - there isn't anything difficult.
GoToMyPC - worth the price
- remote printing
- completely scalable screen size

Connect anywhere with GoToMyPC and become proactive
- Provides a great security while connected. GotoMyPc validates and verifies files and data that goes through your account
- You can perform your workflow and labor task with flexibility
- Very cheap monthly fee, for a great service and software.
- Sometimes the consistency in the connection might lag and create some errors.
- Some issues might be beyond our knowledge, therefore a technician or expert might be needed (rare case)
- If connecting from home, it will take a lot of your data and might slow other devices connections
I do not think GoToMyPC is suited for meetings of conference calls. We have tried it and it failed. The execution of a meeting with this software might confuse and can be trouble if using it as a presentation screen.
