Presence overview
Presence gives you internet access to all your Mac's files from iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC - securely. You can share files with others too, instantly. Plus, look through your Mac's camera from anywhere in the world.
Features
- Everything on hand, whenever you need it - With all your files available all the time, you're free to be spontaneous. There's no need for USB drives, no uploading, and you don't have to predict the future. Cloud services like Dropbox make a few of your files available, and copy them to someone else's server. Presence puts your whole Mac in the cloud, and doesn't copy your files anywhere. Access to everything, with security and privacy. Don't put a few files in the cloud - put your Mac in the cloud!
- Share with other people - Getting files to others has never been easier, especially if they're too big to email. There's no messing around with file sharing services - just send a link. Share whole folders for people to browse at their leisure, or to download as a zip. And because it's Presence, you can share from anywhere.
- Take photos through your Mac's camera, from anywhere - A user favorite. (And you can turn this feature off if you want to.)
- Free your iPhone and iPad - Presence is the bridge between your iPhone and iPad apps and the outside world. On your device, you can transfer files from your Mac to other apps, and from other apps back to your Mac (if the apps support this). Great for editing files on the go, but the possibilities are endless.
Presence costs $10 for six months. Some users may need to purchase additional data, but this is rare.

Version: 3.0.5
Great app, I use it from a long time when it was called FarFinder.
Just one compliant: I recently switched from iPhone to Nexus but I cannot access my Mac's files from Android because:
a) there is no Android app
b) the Chrome web browser for Android doesn't work with Presence, I can log in but cannot "double click" to open files and folders in Presence
Please add Android support and I will add a further star.

I'll give one example of why I give Presence 5 stars. I'm at Staples rushing to get something printed for work when they weren't able to read the file from my flash drive. I quickly opened the Presence iOS app and had Presence email with attached file from home to Staples to print.
Tons of other examples but what matters most is... this program is great.

Works very well. I used the old version (FarFinder) and upgraded now. Rock solid and a great tool to access my files at home from an iPhone or iPad. Works via ssh-connection, and does not rely on third party servers. So it's more secure and private than LogMein.

I have to give Presence 5-stars on tech support alone. Adrian worked with me over several days to help resolve my problem. We exchanged 16 emails. Wow!
The application works as advertised. For downloading files remotely, it's great. With screen sharing, it's the technophobe's VPN.

I bought this app when it was FarFinder and it worked like a dream. Then, I was told that I should upgrade to 2.0 Presence. Once I said I would, I was told it would be $15 (would have been nice to know beforehand) with no way to back out of it. So I paid because it's a useful app overall.
Now that I've upgraded, the app doesn't work on my MacBook when I'm away from home (like it used to). It does work at home on my own network, but who needs that? I've do doubt that, if I were to pay to use EasyConnect, it would work. My guess is that that was a free feature of FarFinder.
I'm considering deleting it and searching for another way to access my files from remote locations.
Too bad.
