About DWService
DWService is a remote access service that connects a web browser to an agent installed on a computer. According to the homepage, you can sign in from any device and gain control of a home computer's screen, files, and running processes. Agents are offered for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. The homepage lists these applications for interacting with the remote system: Screen, Files and Folders, Resources, Shell, Text editor, and Log watch. The homepage notes that the available applications can differ depending on the type of system where the agent is installed.
The homepage says the software updates automatically and that communications between users, DWService servers, and agents are encrypted. It also says DWService does not store information from the agent on its servers. These are the company's stated claims and have not been independently verified here. The homepage warns that the software gives full remote access to a computer, so access should be granted only to trusted people. It also warns that an unexpected call asking you to download the software may be a scam. The service is listed as free, and the homepage describes an API for developers who want to add remote access to their own applications.
