Dell Mobile Connect is a program, designed by Dell, which allows for seamless integration between a mobile device and a dell computer.

As noted by the Dell website, the program has many functionalities. Downloading and installing it will all users to essentially operate their smartphones from their computers. This means that you can use your computer to answer the phone, make calls, send texts, and more. For office workers or people who are trying to limit distractions, this can be phenomenally convenient.

The app, of course, notifies you whenever you have something on your phone that requires addressing. You can customize these notifications to ensure that they work best for you. Again, for an office worker, this can be a fantastic service, as it helps to monitor your valuable time and attention.

According to Dell, the connection is a secure one, ensuring that no malicious actors will have access to your files, calls, or communications. Furthermore, you can set up the program so that it transfers files from your phone to your computer, ensuring that you always have access to the documents and pictures that you need.

Some users have reported technical problems with making the connection after a recent app update; hopefully, those will be addressed, or have been already. Furthermore, the program requires recent software in order to work: Your Dell equipment must be from 2018 or later, and you must be using an iOS version 11 or higher.
