VirtualHere USB Server for Windows

Quick summary

VirtualHere USB Server is a Windows utility that lets you make USB peripherals available over a network so remote computers can use them as if they were plugged in locally. It simplifies access to devices that would otherwise need to be moved between machines, helping teams and remote users share hardware resources with minimal setup.

How it works

The software uses a host-and-client model: the host PC runs the VirtualHere USB Server and has the USB device physically attached. Remote clients connect to that host over the network and are presented with the device in their system as though it were connected directly. This approach removes the need to relocate hardware and supports shared access across LANs or other network setups.

Devices you can share

• External drives and other storage peripherals
• Scanners and imaging equipment
• Printers and similar output devices

Key advantages

• Simple installation and an intuitive interface make deployment straightforward.
• Enables multiple users to access the same USB hardware without physically swapping devices.
• Improves workflow efficiency for teams that rely on shared peripherals across different locations.

Free alternative option

If you prefer a different, cost-free tool, consider SHAREit (Free). It’s commonly recommended for basic file and device sharing needs and can serve as a no-cost substitute depending on your requirements.
