About Chrome Remote Desktop
Chrome Remote Desktop is Google's remote desktop service. It lets people connect to a home or work computer from another device, and it lets them share their screen with others for real-time collaboration or attended remote support.
The homepage says users can view files and run programs on their computer from anywhere, and can connect from a phone, tablet, or another computer. The service is described as built on Google's infrastructure and WebRTC, an open web technology. The homepage does not state usage limits, supported system requirements, or details of any paid options, so these are not described here.
