Google fixes large memory leak in Chrome Remote Desktop.

If the name is no indication, Chrome Remote Desktop lets you securely and remotely connect to your computer from your Android devices. In order for the device and the PC to communicate, a Chrome extension is needed on the computer and you're good to go. The extension is available as a free download from Chrome Web Store.

Google has updated Chrome Remote Desktop today and the update adds nothing new but fixes a large memory leak on disconnection from remote desktop.

Grab the fix in Google Play Store

Chrome Remote Desktop updated with interface improvements and reduced network usage.

With its ever expanding ecosystem, Google had to come up with another layer of connecting all their services and devices and with most people owning at least one phone and a PC, it's natural that Google made Chrome Remote Desktop available so users can connect to any computers they have online.

In order to access your computers from your Android device, you obviously need the free Android app and your PC, which very likely has the Chrome browser installed, only requires a Chrome extension which is available free from the Chrome Web store. With both these elements in place, a secure connection is established to access files on your online computer.

Chrome Remote Desktop received an update today and here's what's new:

• User interface improvements.
• Reduced network usage when running in the background.
