Many of us use one computer at work and another at home. There are some occasions where we're using one computer, but wishing we could access a file on the other. There is remote access software that allows you to do so but the iTwin system offers a much simpler solution. It is two flash drive-like sticks that plug into either computer and let them communicate for free over a secure internet connection. To use iTwin, after establishing a link between the two computers by interlocking the sticks, you just pull them apart and leave them in the machines' USB ports. As long as both computers have internet access, they will have access to each other's complete hard drives using an AES 256-bit encrypted connection. This feature is great for various reasons. It’s great if you’re on the road and you want to transfer files to your notebook. You and co-workers can be linked if there are changes to files that need to be made. If the sticks get lost, it can be remotely disabled. I love this feature. I can definitely see myself using this in the future.
Great post! If you take an Itwin out of your computer, do you lose the connection? I was just wondering if this was more or less secure than remote desktop?
ReplyDeleteYou probably would lose connection. I'm sure once you plug in back in, it automatically finds the signal again. I don't know which one would be more secure. If I had to guess, I would say iTwin.
