How to Access Windows Remotely From an Android Phone

With the help of the TeamViewer app, it is possible to remotely access your files stored on a Windows computer via your Android phone. Behind the scenes, an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) connection is established between your Android phone and the PC.

Although there are plenty of apps available in the Google Play Store that allow you to remotely connect Android devices to Windows computers, the best one among those is Team viewer. Since the TeamViewer app is comparatively securer and user-friendly, you get the ultimate user experience while accessing your files remotely.

In order to access the data on the remote PC, you must request your administrator to install and configure the PC version of the TeamViewer app on the computer, and provide you with the TeamViewer ID and the passcode that is displayed.

On the phone’s end, download and install the TeamViewer Remote Control app on your Android cell phone in order to access the target remote computer.

Note: Internet connection on both the devices, i.e. the computer and Android mobile must be enabled before you attempt to establish a remote connection between the two.

Here’s how you can download, install, and configure the Team Viewer app on your Android phone:

    ■Power on the Android phone.
    ■After unlocking, tap the Menu button to launch the apps list.
