This allows you to choose a specific target computer to paste the remote clipboard contents to prevent accidental clipboard data loss. With ShareMouse, the transmission is initiated with the paste action and not the copy action. ShareMouse also supports formatted text, bitmaps, files and file folders.Īnother benefit: Other clipboard synchronization utilities may overwrite the clipboard of all remote computers even if you want to perform clipboard operations on your local computer only.
ShareMouse synchronizes the clipboard between multiple computers: ShareMouse takes care of the rest and sends the files by using your existing network connection. It is really that easy: Just click any files and drag them to the remote computer of your choice. ShareMouse allows you to drag & drop files and folders between computers: Watch in Youtube Drag & Drop Files between Computers ShareMouse also allows you to synchronize logging in/out a computer on all your other PCs and Macs:
But note that ShareMouse doesn’t work with any form of Linux at the moment, nor Apple iPad and Android Tablets.It looks like "the same thing" but ShareMouse has a quite different approach under the hood. Overall, ShareMouse is another great candidate if you are seeking a keyboard-mouse sharing tool that is free, work for both Windows and Mac. However, I did encounter an issue when trying to share the screenshots between the computers. ShareMouse can also share the clipboard between multiple computers. While dragging & dropping becomes a nature way of moving files, this feature brings the same seamless feeling while working on both computers simultaneously. You can drag & drop any files from one computer to another with a progress bar and speedometer showing progress during the large file transmission. What about file sharing between the computers? And here comes an unique feature that doesn’t exist in either Synergy or Mouse Without Board. But if you don’t like it, you can turn it off by scrolling the dim bar all the way to the left in the setting window. The Auto-diming feature on any of the inactive monitors is also useful to remind you which computer and monitor you are controlling. Or, you may interference with other people’s computer. But, make sure don’t run the tool on the computers that are not in the same room at the same time. All happens without any user’s interactive. It effortlessly detects any of the computers that have ShareMouse running and automatically senses what the monitor layout would be. One of the beauty of this tool is its configuration-free monitor layout sensing feature.
It works fine on all form factors that run either Windows XP/Vista/7, both 32-bit and 64-bit, or Mac OSX Snow Leopard/Lion.
ShareMouse is a completely free tool that also offers a portable version for both Windows and Mac, which comes very handy.
There is also no limitation how many computers and monitors are going to sharing. Not like Mouse Without Board that only works between Windows systems, ShareMouse also works on a hybrid network that contains both Windows and Mac OSX systems. ShareMouse is another feature rich tool that shares one set of keyboard and mouse across multiple computers on the same network. We have covered a couple of nice keyboard-mouse sharing tools before, Synergy and more lately the Mouse Without Board.
