HopToDesk is a remote desktop tool allowing users to share their screen, transfer files, and allow remote control access to their computers and devices using end-to-end encryption.
Security and privacy is a priority at HopToDesk. All traffic between users, including chats, file transfers, and screen sharing is end-to-end encrypted. This means HopToDesk does not have the ability to see users screens, files, or any information shared between partners during a remote session. Other remote desktop products do not offer end-to-end encryption and frequently send background data to the remote desktop provider’s servers, allowing them to detect commercial use and prevent the application from running again. This is not possible with HopToDesk.
This is free and open source software.
