To make sure our set up process is as straightforward as possible we have:
Our expert support team are on hand to assist you if you have any issues during the setup. Alternatively, we can schedule an assisted setup with one of our on-boarding specialists.
Absolutely! You can sign up and use our free 7-day, on-premise trial without having to enter your credit card and without any obligation to sign up when the trial is over.
You have all the functionality of the MyQuickCloud application so you can make an informed decision on whether or not it is the right solution for you. Our managed cloud solution is not currently available for trials.
No. Neither your remote users, nor the person in front of the host computer will see you working or moving the mouse around. The only person that can see what you are doing in MyQuickCloud, is you.
Yes. MyQuickCloud creates a dedicated Windows user on the host computer and you log into that session.
With MyQuickCloud, moving files between the host and your local computer is easy. You can either move files within the file explorer (available when accessing from a Mac or Windows computer), or just copy and paste between those sessions (available when accessing from a Windows computer).
We have a Getting Started guide that will show you how to create your account, define your host, publish your first app and start working remotely.
On your first set up you will need to be on your host – that’s the computer with the programs on it that you want to access remotely.
With remote screen technology you take control of the computer, which disturbs the person physically working on that machine.
MyQuickCloud is different: you (or your colleague/client) access the host remotely while another user is still accessing that host locally as they usually would. The host's physical screen does not show what you are doing remotely.
With the on-premise solution you can use any existing Windows computer as the host. The usual Windows permissions apply, so other users cannot access your protected folders (such as the Windows Folders like Documents, Downloads or Desktop). Your data stays on your host at all times, so you stay in complete control of it.
With the managed cloud solution, we provide you with a Windows server that we setup, backup and manage in different datacenters. Our cloud servers are available 24/7 and are backed up every night. We take care of installing Windows updates and 3rd party software so you can focus on your business, rather than on your IT.
The host is the computer (running Microsoft Windows operating system) with the programs on it that you want to access remotely. It could be a computer: at home, in the office, in the cloud or one of our managed cloud servers.
A user is a person (co-worker, client) with a MyQuickcloud login. A user can can connect from multiple devices, it's not locked to a single device. So a user can login from their tablet at home, or a computer in the office (one device at a time).
MyQuickCloud is the solution that allows multiple, simultaneous users to access computers and applications remotely.
Whether you need to access your computer remotely, or share your desktop software with clients or colleagues. MyQuickCloud is the easy and affordable way to make your applications cloud and mobile.

With MyQuickCloud, moving files between the host and your local computer is easy. You can either move files within the file explorer (available when accessing from a Mac or Windows computer), or just copy and paste between those sessions (available when accessing from a Windows computer).
There are several types of cloud server available and you can easily upgrade/downgrade to fit your need.
We always recommend starting with a small server as it is already powerful enough for most usage, and then upgrade when you add more users or applications on your Server.
Here are some guidelines to size up your Server:
Small: Ideal for up to 2-3 users
(1 vCPU, 2 GB, 10GB SSD)
Standard: For heavier applications or up to 7-8 users
(2 vCPU, 4 GB, 15GB SSD)
Large: for enterprise use with more than 10 users
(2 vCPU, 8 GB, 20GB SSD)
Other options are available, just contact us.
Cloud servers are available as an option to a paid subscription, just log in to your online account and update your subscription to add the cloud server of your choice.
Once your subscription has been upgraded and the payment succeeds, the cloud server will be automatically added to your account. We will then contact you for additional information about the programs to install and setup your server accordingly (please allow up to 1 business day).
Cloud servers are meant to be flexible and scalable, so you can upgrade or downgrade directly from your online account.

Yes, with MyQuickCloud the usual Windows permissions and restrictions apply so other users (like your MyQuickCloud users) can only access their private folders as well as the Windows public folders.

Yes, the host needs to be switched on and connected to the internet for anyone else to be able to work from it remotely.
If keeping your host online 24/7 is an issue then you can take one of our cloud servers which are always powered on, take a look at our Managed Cloud FAQ section.
We back up our managed cloud servers daily however with the on-premise solution, you will need to manage your own backups.
Yes, MyQuickCloud is a great way of providing your users with secure access to your server without needing to worry about firewall openings or static IP addresses. However you should ensure you have the required third party licenses corresponding to running and accessing your server remotely.
The host is the computer with the programs on it that you want to access remotely.
