Gbridge: Does Simple but Secure File Sharing, Syncing, and VNC

Windows only: Free application Gbridge sets up a virtual private
network between any computer over the internet using your Google
account as a starting point. Once set up, Gbridge allows you to share
files, connect to and remotely control a computer using VNC, sync
folders, and back up files to another computer. If you've got Google
Talk/Gmail chat friends using Gbridge, the app provides the same
functionality between your computer and theirs. It all sounds a little
convoluted, but in effect it's actually a relatively painless way for
anyone to setup up a VPN between computers, and assuming you've already
got a Google account, it doesn't require you to sign up for anything
else. The application could be a bit more intuitive in practice, but in
terms of what it accomplishes, it's a winner. Gbridge is freeware,
Windows only. Despite the name, it's not associated with Google.

if the VPN works well ... this seems like foldershare and hamachi all in
one ... with a touch of logmein !

Feels quite user friendly

Nope. Designed best for 1 account.

I read the promo literature and I wasn't quite clear if a VPN can be set up without administrative privileges, but it seemed to imply that you could .... any idea?

Not sure, I'll try it at home.

My daughter also installed gbridge on her tablet, and she was able to access my desktop.

I couldn't access hers though .. even we disabled her firewall.

Stil, this looks like an option to allow users to get help. But it does take a little setting up.

The File Sharing features might be a neat way to get Synapse Documentation automatically to Endusers. If one PC has gmail then the files can be saved to anywhere in the network so every PC could have access to the documentation.
