There are circumstances in life where we want to access our computer remotely. Fortunately, there is a solution that you can find in the virtual store of Google Chrome.
It's called Chrome Remote Desktop. First, you must install it on all the computers that will be connected. Don't worry about the operating system, as it works for Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and Linux.

Now the next step is to run the app on the base computer (the one you want to connect to). Then click on 'Start' (below 'My computers') and enable remote access. The App will ask you for a PIN password to enable the connection.
Now click 'Yes' to install the necessary plugins, select the Google account you want to use, and enter the PIN you selected. Once you do this, you will have your Google accounts associated with all the computers where you install Chrome Remote Desktop.

To access the computer, simply ask someone (a friend or your parents) to turn on the computer and click the 'Share' button on Chrome Remote Desktop to give you access.
When you install the App on another computer, you will see the first computer you used with the service on the list. Click on the name of the one you want to access, enter the PIN, and you're done.
The operation may be complex, but it is one of the simplest ways to make life easier for those who don't know where you keep your files and need something very specific.
