Back to My Mac replacemen­t

-

APPLE REMOVED BACK to My Mac from macOS Mojave, so you’ll need a third–party solution to give you access to your Mac — and its files — while you’re on the road. If you want a free (for personal use) option, try AnyDesk. Download the Mac version from anydesk.com, and open the disk image; double–click the AnyDesk icon inside it, then click “Install AnyDesk on this computer”.

After the app reopens, make a note of the AnyDesk–Address, then go to AnyDesk > Preference­s > Security, and choose “Unlock security settings”. After entering your account password, set Interactiv­e Access to “Allow always” then check “Enable unattended access”; you’ll need to set a password here.

Whenever your Mac is on, connected to the internet and running AnyDesk, you’ll be able to connect to it from other computers, plus your iPhone or iPad, for remote control purposes.
