REACHit to the rescue

For those of you who deign to read my blog, you may remember how I was having trouble getting to file share between my Laptop and my Desktop computers. I'm not much into cloud services so I passed on that suggestion.

However, poking around on my Lenovo Y700 I discovered a program called "REACHit" It purported give you access to files on all your devices on your local network without using the internet.

It's a Lenovo free download, and since I already had it on my Laptop, I downloaded it on my Desktop and after a bit of poking around (documentation is sparse) I managed to get the two to actually share files. I can actually open a file on one computer from the other. I'm not sure just yet about modifying and saving, but I'll play with that.

There's an apparently a companion program called "SHAREit" that is supposed to share files with other devices in the same way, so maybe I'll have to use that to over write the file on the other computer; we'll see.

If any of you would like to try it, you can download "REACHit" for yourself.
