What is TeamViewer?

TeamViewer is a remote control software application that allows you to connect and access your computer files whether you are near it or far away from it. You just need to download the app on your computer and on your phone, for example, in order to connect those two devices. This app is free if you are an individual who just needs to connect his two devices together. But, if you are a part of some firm or company, and you want to access your company’s devices anytime you want to, you must either pay a monthly fee or pay a yearly fee. This software is available for many different devices. For example, you are able to download and install it for Windows devices, Androids, Apple phones and devices, and MAC OS. So, in that way, this software application is very flexible. And in general, this app is actually really useful if you are far away from your device and you have some files that you need to access right away, but there is no one there who can send them to you. And since we are going to be talking about unattended access in TeamViewer, we shall tell you more about that feature. Unattended access means that you are able to access your computer’s files even if there is no one on the other side that can accept the connection request. And here is how to set that feature up.
