OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. announced that it has developed technology that enables access to home computer files from anywhere using a smart device.

At present there is a proliferation of ways to use smartphones to access, from anywhere, computer files stored at home, not just those stored in the cloud. Effectively using these methods, however, has been problematic, because there may be files that cannot be viewed or edited on smart devices, or because, even using a remote desktop connection, opening the desired file (launching the application for viewing and/or editing it) can take time and effort. Now Fujitsu Laboratories has developed technology that, by managing the status of devices and PCs and the types of applications that can be executed on each of them, can determine which terminal is best for executing the chosen file and have it run automatically, enabling it to be viewed and edited.

With this technology, a user making a single tap on a smart device can select a file, start up their home PC from anywhere and easily access the file via optimum means. For example, files created using Microsoft(r) Office that are stored on a home PC can be accessed on the go using a smart device and easily viewed and edited.
