Question TeamViewer - How Secure?

[RhoXS]

My wife and I alternate between two homes. It would be convenient to access my W11 desktop from my MacBook Air M4 when not at the desktop home. I would mostly want to access files on the desktop to print at the remote location but sometimes it would be convenient to do more. Team Viewer almost certainly has the functionality I need but I need to know how secure it is. Assuming I use very strong passwords, does TeamViewer increase my vulnerability with respect to the privacy of the contents of either my desktop or laptop? If it does create more risk, how can that risk be mitigated?

I can't speak for the Apple integration but we use Team Viewer in a commercial setting and find it to be rather secure. One thing to keep in mind is that Team Viewer for personal use is free but if you use it for any extended period of time or rather frequently there is a good chance they will flag you as a commercial user and limit your access. You might have to contact their support team to correct it.

Some years ago, someone hacked my TeamViewer account, and accessed my PC. I abandoned it after that.
