Android is what everyone needs these days! Most of your prolific work is an end-product of your tablet or your android phone. Android phone is without any doubt the best-selling Smartphone around these days. Even when you are away from your personal computer, you can still access your computer through the amazing compact android phone in your hand. Through this mobile device powered by Google, you can now access your computer as it helps you to stay connected!
However, there is not any single app that can be regarded as the best way to access your computer there are some of the apps that can be categorized as the best ones.
Assuming that you have forgotten any of your important files in your computer and you need it instantly, so the REMOTE DESKTOP i.e. VNC (Virtual Network Computing) allows you to remotely control your computer. This remote access has further two fantastic options:
ANDROID VNC VIEWER
This viewer supports VNC only, and this application lets you get connected via WiFi or sometimes USB. It connects to VNC servers like TightVNC and RealVNC. The Android VNC server has following features:

- You can set up a password in order to access.
Here are a few quick tips for your Android VNC Server:

ANDROID SCREENCAST
This app allows you to get connected using mouse and keyboard, which are further connected via USB.
So basically, all depends on what do you want actually, if you want to go for RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), just hit the Wyse’s Pocketcloud app! It is compatible with the VNC server too. It is totally compatible with Mac and Linux servers. It enables access over 3G/4G networks.
In this app, you will not need any mouse; rather the touchpad does it all. It has the following feature:
- You can copy paste text between the local computer and the remote one.
FLASH REMOTE
Through this app, you can remote control your media center (Windows and Mac) through WiFi! Through Flash Remote, your Android phones turn into Apple remote control. Get the screen sharing activated and let the VNC-user access the system, but that too with a password.
2X CLIENT REMOTE DESKTOP
Want to stay connected with your home or office? 2X Client Remote Desktop is the option. It lets you have a safe remote access easily with the help of RDP.

Hello Sarvanshu,
nice article brother but this Wi-Fi is not as helpful because its not necessary that everyone will have access to the wifi but the other app is pretty cool to have. will surely going to try it out.
Thank for sharing this.
I agree completely with Jeet, not always we can have an access to WI-Fi, and in this case it won’t be possible. And another one can be very useful!
nice post sarvanshu, would these apps slow down my android?
Wow! VNC is an awesome application. Accessing your desktop using this application is really helpful especially for busy people.
