Privacy
Isn’t it annoying to have your colleagues going round your workspace watching every detail of whatever you’re doing on your PC? Well, this can also happen when accessing your work computer remotely.
To solve this situation, you can use AnyDesk’s private mode option to turn the remote device screen black while accessing it.
This way, the screen content stay hidden from anyone who has physical access to the remote device.
File exchange
File transfer between computers is also one of AnyDesk’s features. You can exchange text, screenshots and other files between remote and local devices. This option is easily blocked for privacy reasons, of course.
Printing remotely
AnyDesk also allows you to print files via a virtual printer (AnyDesk Printer) installed on the remote device. Using this function you can send your documents to the local printer.. Great, isn’t it?
