Description

LogMeIn Free for Mac is a powerful networking software that allows you to remotely control your PC or Mac from any other internet-connected computer. With LogMeIn, you can access all of your files and share them with others without the need for firewall, router or proxy configuration. This software is perfect for those who need to work remotely or want to access their home computer while on the go.

One of the key features of LogMeIn Free is its remote control and desktop viewing capabilities. This means that you can control your computer as if you were sitting right in front of it. You can open applications, browse files, and even use keyboard shortcuts just like you would on your own computer.

Another great feature of LogMeIn Free is its ability to copy and paste between computers. This makes it easy to transfer files between different devices without having to manually upload or download them. You can simply copy a file from one device and paste it onto another.

If you need to wake up your computer remotely, LogMeIn Free has got you covered with its Wake on LAN feature. This allows you to turn on your computer from anywhere in the world as long as it's connected to the internet.

If your remote PC needs a reboot or reconnects (including safe mode), LogMeIn Free has got that covered too! You don't have to worry about losing connection during important tasks because this software will automatically reconnect when necessary.

LogMeIn Free also provides basic reports such as remote access sessions and user access so that you can keep track of who's accessing what on your network. Additionally, there's an integrated chat function which makes communication between users seamless.

Security is always a top priority when it comes to networking software, which is why LogMeIn Free uses AES 256-bit encryption along with SSL/TLS intrusion detection technology. These features ensure that all data transmitted over the network remains secure at all times.

Finally, if someone tries repeatedly tries accessing your network without permission then IP address lockout will kick in preventing further attempts at unauthorized entry into the system.

Overall, if you're looking for an easy-to-use networking software solution that provides secure remote access capabilities then look no further than LogMein free for Mac!

Review

LogMeIn Free is a remote access program that allows you to remotely access your computers from a Web browser. It also provides a file sharing solution for when you have large files that you need to share.

Pros

Browser-based computer access: Being able to log in to your account through a Web browser and access a remote computer is a very useful concept, and it works great in LogMeIn. Log-in and access was quick and worked seamlessly in testing.

Good Web interface: You have to log in to the website in order to really test how this app works on the computer it is installed on, and the website works seamlessly. Log-in is quick, and then you just select your computer, log in, and you can access it remotely.

Large file sharing: This is a fantastic alternative to services like Dropbox or Google Drive. LogMeIn allows you to host your files on your own computer, but share a link so that people can transfer a copy directly from your computer to their machine. This is a very effective way to share files, and the app can create a download link that expires in a predetermined number of days with only a few clicks.

Cons

Complicated installation: The installation process was more confusing than it needed to be. The program asked you to create an account through a link that opened a sign-up page in a Web browser. After creating an account, the website tries to prompt you to install the software that you're already installing, which was redundant.

Slow navigation: Through repeated retesting, LogMeIn consistently had problems running smoothly.

Bottom Line

LogMeIn is not without its drawbacks, and the installation could certainly be smoother, but overall it is a good program. The remote access features work well, as does file sharing, and the program itself is very easy to use.
