Often, these terms are used interchangeably.  However, they are distinct functions and here’s how Aira defines them: 

 

Remote access is the ability to access a computer or device and all its files and applications, from another device and control it as if you were sitting in front of it.

 

Screen share, also known as desktop sharing, is the practice of sharing the contents of your screen with another device or multiple devices, where the person or people with whom you are sharing can only view contents.

 

File transfer is the process of copying or moving a file from one computer to another over a network or Internet connection.
