### 10 Software Categories in High Demand to Support Remote Work
](https://www.g2.com/articles/10-trending-software-categories-for-remote-work)
Throughout my time at G2, traffic patterns on G2.com category pages have been one of the most significant data points to monitor. Time and again, the changes in those patterns have proven a good indicator of emerging trends and a strong reflection of change in software markets. The current global crisis caused by COVID-19 is, unsurprisingly, creating a large shift to tools that support remote work.

### How to Stay Organized When Closing Books Remotely
](https://www.g2.com/articles/how-to-stay-organized-when-closing-books-remotely)
Almost any public or private business with an accounting and finance department performs a month, quarter, and year-end close, which is a series of steps to review, record, and reconcile accounting information. For this blog, I’m going to refer to only month-end close for consistency and simplicity.

Question on: TeamViewer
[Why Could I see my File Transfer Window?](/discussions/41461-why-could-i-see-my-file-transfer-window)

I sent a 6gb 7z file from my home office to the corp. office. I left the factory. When I got on my home docking station the File Transfer window was no where to be seen. The connection was still live to my engineering workstation but there was no record available that I could find confirming the status of the transfer. I've use TmVwr since it's inception. I know well beyond the basics. There was no indication of an active transfer. I chose the close connection command and there was no warning or query of intent. Once closed the log window popped up showing "File Transfer Finished". Bull shit. The Transfer Window was open on my home office computer when viewed from my workstation. WTF was it when I got home?

In your installation folder.
