Welcome to Jump Desktop 8.0 for iOS

This update brings remote support features, collaborative screen sharing, better mouse handling and tons of bug fixes!

Requirement

Screen Sharing features require the free Jump Desktop Connect app to be installed on the remote computer. Jump Desktop Connect is a free app that anyone can install by visiting https://jumpdesktop.com/go. Also, we've updated Jump Desktop Connect to 6.0. Connect 6.0 has tons of new features too. Read the announcement here: Jump Desktop Connect 6.0 Announcement.

Collaborative Screen Sharing

Collaborative Screen Sharing lets many users connect to the same desktop. Each user gets their own mouse cursor and can point and click without fighting over the same cursor. Great for editing documents with coworkers, tweaking designs with remote team members, creating presentations together, and teaching Grandma how to clean out her email.

Ask To Share Screen

We've added a new 'Ask to share screen' button for unobtrusive remote support. When connecting to computers over Fluid Remote Desktop, tap the new Ask button when prompted for credentials. Jump Desktop will ask the person on the remote computer if they want to start sharing their desktop with you. Once they accept, you'll be able to see their screen. No need to share passwords anymore!

Secure Screen Sharing Links

Anyone can share their screen by sending you a link. You don't need to be an authorized remote access user on their machine or know their password to connect. All they need to do is install Jump Desktop Connect from https://jumpdesktop.com/go and click the 'Copy Link' button. Then send you the link. It's very simple, very quick and very powerful.

Better mouse handling for physical and on-screen mice

We've added support for 'non-linear acceleration curves' for mouse cursors. This means physical and on-screen mice feel more natural. This feature is enabled by default but you can always disable it in Settings -> Mouse & Gestures.

File Sharing for RDP

You can now use your iOS device as a shared folder inside RDP sessions. To get started, edit your connection settings and turn on the 'file sharing' option. Connect to your computer and open up Explorer. You'll see a shared folder which you can copy files to and from. To access the shared folder, open up the 'Files' app on your iOS 11 device and browse to the Jump Desktop 'Shared Folder' directory.

On-Screen Keyboard Improvements

We've added new functionality to the on-screen keyboard.

Types out your saved password. Useful for quickly unlocking your desktop:

Cycles between remote displays. Use this to quickly switch between displays when connecting to a machine with multiple monitors. Requires Fluid or Mac VNC connections.

On-screen keys have been rearranged and they wrap around for quicker access:

Other notable stuff in 7.4:

• Video out improvements: When video out is enabled and the RDP server supports dynamic resolution updates, Jump will automatically switch the remote desktop resolution to match the external monitor's resolution. Try it out by turning on screen mirroring on your iOS device. Then connect to the remote computer and tap the monitor icon in Jump's toolbar.
• Removed confirmation dialog before disconnecting.
• A new option to turn off bilinear filtering: Settings -> Appearance -> High Quality Graphics.
