how to connect to remote desktop from mac

Are you struggling to access another Mac's desktop from afar? Connecting to remote desktops has never been easier with these simple steps. In this article, we will guide you through the process of connecting to a remote desktop using your Mac.

To begin, make sure that both computers are connected to the same network. Next, open System Preferences on the Mac whose screen you want to access remotely. Click on 'Sharing' and then select 'Screen Sharing'. You will see a list of available screens to connect to. Select the desired screen by clicking on it.

On your own Mac, press Command + Space and start typing 'Screen Sharing' to open the app. Enter the phrase that you find below the Computer Name section of the Sharing System Preferences page. This is usually in the format of 'username@machine_name.local'.

Once you have entered the correct credentials, a window will open with the other screen showing. You can then access and control the remote desktop as if you were sitting in front of it.

If you want to connect to a remote desktop without using Screen Sharing, you can also adjust your setting for Sharing in System Preferences and connect to the other screen directly. This method may provide a slightly less laggy way to share screens.

To store files and documents on iCloud Drive, go to iCloud Drive settings and tick the box beside 'Desktop & Documents Folder'. You will then be able to access all your files on all your devices. Make sure to also optimize your Mac storage by clicking on the 'Optimize Mac Storage' button at the bottom of the window.

With these simple steps, you can connect to a remote desktop from your Mac and access any file or document stored in iCloud Drive.
