What allows you to give anyone control of your desktop through an e-mail invitation

  1. To invite people to collaborate on files or folders, do one of the following on your Mac:

    • Click the Finder icon

      in the Dock to open a Finder window, click iCloud Drive in the sidebar, select a file or folder, then click the Share button
      .

    • Control-click an item on the desktop, then choose Share from the shortcut menu.

    Note: To collaborate with others on a file or folder, it must be in iCloud Drive.

  2. Choose Collaborate from the pop-up menu.

  3. Click “Only invited people can edit.” below Collaborate to set permissions for working together, then choose one of the following from the pop-up menu below “Who can access”:

    • Only invited people: Allow only people you invite to access the file or folder.

    • Anyone with the link: Allow anyone who receives the link to access the file or folder. If you choose this option, people you invite can share the link and give access to others not included in your original invitation.

  4. Click the pop-up menu below Permissions, then choose one of the following:

    • Can make changes: Allow people you invite to view and modify the contents of the file or folder.

    • View only: Allow people you invite to view the contents of the file or folder, but not modify them.

  5. Select the checkbox next to “Allow others to invite” to allow anyone with access to the file or folder to share it with others. Deselect the checkbox so only you can share the file or folder with others.

  6. Share the invitation using Mail or Messages, or create and copy a link to the shared item.

    To learn more about using the Messages app for collaboration, see Collaborate on projects with Messages.

When the people you invite receive your invitation, they can download the shared file or folder from iCloud to any of their devices. If you allow it, they can make changes to a file, and you see the updates the next time you open it on your Mac.

When you share a folder with only invited people, only they can access the files in the shared folder. To add more participants, you must change the settings of the shared folder; you can’t change the settings of an individual file within the folder.

Tip: If you want to send a copy of a file or folder without collaborating on it, Control-click the item in the Finder or on the desktop, choose Share from the shortcut menu, choose Send Copy from the pop-up menu, then choose how you want to share the copy of the item, such as using AirDrop or Mail.

You can also collaborate on shared content directly from supported apps like Notes, Reminders, Safari, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, and more, as long as you save the content in iCloud Drive.

Use Chrome Remote Desktop on Linux

Step 1: Install the Debian package for the host components

Download the 64-bit Debian package here.

Step 2: Allow remote connections

Go to the “Set up remote access to your computer” section above.

Step 3 (Optional): Customize your virtual desktop session

When you first connect, you'll get a default session chooser where you can select your desktop environment. If you always want to launch a specific desktop environment:

  1. In /usr/share/xsessions/, find the .desktop file for your preferred desktop environment. In the file, you'll find a line that starts with Exec= with the command you need to start the session.

    • For example, Cinnamon has a file named cinnamon.desktop. In some versions, the file might have the command: gnome-session --session=cinnamon.
  2. Create a file called .chrome-remote-desktop-session in your home directory with the content: exec /etc/X11/Xsession '<YOUR_EXEC_COMMAND>'.
  3. Replace <YOUR_EXEC_COMMAND> with the command at the end of your .desktop file.
    • In the example for Cinnamon, the correct command is exec /etc/X11/Xsession 'gnome-session --session=cinnamon'.
  4. Save the file called $HOME/.chrome-remote-desktop-session. You'll find this change the next time you restart the Chrome Remote Desktop host.
  5. The virtual desktop session is created and .chrome-remote-desktop-session starts when Chrome Remote Desktop starts.

Tip: Your desktop environment may not support more than one session at a time. In this case, we recommend that you use different desktop environments for your Chrome Remote Desktop session and your local session, or use the session chooser.

If you use the session chooser, we recommend that you sign out of the desktop environment in Chrome Remote Desktop or your local session before you sign in to the same desktop environment on the other.
