Recommendations for Affordable RDP Software with File Sharing?

Another option to consider is MeshCentral. It allows file management capabilities along with remote desktop access, and it works smoothly without interrupting the remote desktop session.

I recommend trying Rustdesk. It's free and offers a self-hosted option that works on multiple platforms, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. Just keep in mind that it requires you to remember the ID for the connection, which can be a bit of a hassle because they want you to upgrade for more features.

If you're on a tight budget, Splashtop is an affordable choice that usually costs just a few dollars monthly. It's reliable for remote desktop access and file sharing.

You could check out TeamViewer for remote access, but be cautious about potential limitations on free accounts. If they do enforce strict policies, switching to Aeroadmin might be a good solution as it has fewer restrictions and I've used it without issues for years.

If you're considering traditional RDP, it does support file transfers as long as you configure it correctly. However, if you need something different, have you thought about using Google Drive? If both computers have access, it could work well for sharing files without directly using RDP.
