Splashtop Asus app drawer shortcut

---

How do I get the shortcut in the app drawer with having to go into mycloud?

Or is it even worth it, and just install the current market version splashtop?

One thing to remember - with the current Free version of Splashtop 2, they started charging a monthly fee to connect "over the internet". So if you use that feature and don't want to start paying for it, stick with the original Splashtop version....

Say what?! What does that mean..."connect over the internet"? I've been using the mycloud for the past 3 weeks, have't got any notifications of a charge. Is this going to kick in when I lest expect it?

No, you are fine as long as you are using the "MyCloud" version. When they released Splashtop V2, they started charging a monthly fee for the ability to connect to a machine "over the internet" (you can actually use Splashtop to remotely control another PC over the internet) - that same function is available for free in the "MyCloud" version and all of the V1 versions.

I found the Splashtop HD v 1.9.8.4 and am using this one. The one in mycloud is HD version 1.0.?.? The latest non version 2 is 1.9.9.8 I think. I removed the Asus version since it was older and no direct link in the app drawer.

I've tried v 1.9.8.4 and the HD display on the TF700 is too small for me.
Seems like the lose of a lot of display space on the tablet.
I've played with the display settings & only the computer I was linking to changed.

Actually there is a way to cheat the whole internet connection thing, as opposed to same Wi-Fi network. I did this with my htc sensation, but it doesn't matter which phone you use as long as it has vpn and Wi-Fi hotspot. I have my router at home which has built in vpn with dd-wrt, but you can set this up with any of your computer's, you just have to make sure you are port forwarded properly. You can setup an incoming vpn connection using Windows 7, as its built-in is quit easy to use. Once you are setup with vpn ,connect to your home network 1st, then connect to your phone's Wi-Fi hotspot, then connect with splash. Splash will see the rest of your home network because of the vpn connection, and will connect no problem.
I'm out of town till Friday but if ne one needs help with this, i can put up more detailed instructions, this is probably not for the inexperienced.

While I appreciate the info, it's alot easier to just stick with V1!

I agree to a point, i already had vpn setup, so it was easy for me. The vpn is actually pretty easy to setup and once done, you will not have to do it again.

So I should ask, what are the key differences between V1 and the later versions? Not much beats Free access, but if the features in later versions are that much better, I've got to consider the options
