Setapp equips you with all the apps needed to remotely access any device you need and elevate your work to the global level.

Apple has spent a lot of time ensuring anyone can log in to their Macs both desktop and laptop from any other Mac device, anywhere.

And, besides, there are a variety of third-party apps ready to help with that too.

From how you connect to sharing files or screens to using your Apple device as a remote mouse, we want to demystify the process in the easy-to-follow guide below.

This enables Mac remote desktop access using a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

Choose which users you want to have remote access or the ability to control your Mac.

Write them down and keep them safe, as allowing access to your Mac does make it potentially less secure, especially over cellular or public Wi-Fi networks.

Either select, All Users, which means any other device on your network, or Mac you own, can access and connect, or click the Add button(), which gives you the ability to select who can have remote access andor control.

It is also possible to use iOS devices, such as an iPhone and iPad, through Apple Remote Desktop, available from the App Store.

And with more and more people working remotely, being on the same screen (ahem, page) is a must.

Whether you are on a business trip or traveling, stay confident knowing you can access any file on your home computer at any time.

Due to the ubiquitousness of email, its still the default method for file sharing, despite its obvious flaws and constraints.

To use this feature, activate it in the Sharing pane of System Preferences by checking File Sharing.

If you only want to share specific folders, add them to the Shared Folders list.

If you only want specific users to access the folder, add them to its Users list.

In the Finder, choose Go and then AirDrop on both the sending and receiving Mac.

As soon as you see the receivers user icon, drag the desired file onto it to send.

The robust file managing app ForkLift covers most of the FTP functionality but takes it to the next level and could be a viable replacement for the Finder altogether with its quick search, instant previews, and file comparison.

With a feature called Synchronizer Document, you can select which files need to be automatically synchronized and shared between devices, just like that.

Unfortunately, if you leave passwords in a visible document, you expose yourself to immense risks.

Except for Admin level access, since its password protected.

And make sure it is different from your primary Mac or iOS (App Store) one.
