Citrix Releases ShareConnect
Out of the blue (at least for me) Citrix has released a new product they are calling ShareConnect. Based on what appears to be a combination of the RemotePC code along with Sharefile components it allows you to remote a PC and access documents, applications, and even a full desktop if required. It is also (at least for the moment) totally free. I have spent the last few hours playing with it and I have to say it is pretty impressive!
There seem to be two ways to get it:
1) Go to the iOS App Store and download the app. Once registered you will get an email link to download the client required on the PC. This is what I did and was very easy.
2) Apparently if you have a ShareFile account you can also just go to shareconnect.com and log in with those credentials to get it. I don’t have one so I can’t validate that, but when I hit the login button it took me to a ShareFile login connection so I assume I am right.
It does have a couple of limitations like no auto-rotate and it always starts with the Documents view. But it’s a pretty cool tool, it’s free, and it worked very nicely with my iPad on wireless. So check it out today.
