Go2Meeting: something similar but cheaper or free?

brownbabygirl

I am taking the 30-day free trial offered by Go2meeting. After the trial it is very expensive, £30 monthly whether I use it or not. Anyone know a similar application that is cheaper or free? I tried LiveMeeting which is 12 p/min but it does not allow editing online, just sharing.

thanks

I have used this in the past and it worked fine: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx
Some additional tools that are free:

Just to add: it depends on what your requirements are, if you just need simple desktop sharing there are other options available that are also free. If you require conferencing and audio and file transfers, your options for free tools become somewhat limited.

Main criteria is to be able to share and edit live online. thank you!

You could use VNC for remote desktop access (see UltraVNC and TightVNC), although you may need to open/forward TCP ports 5800 and 5900 on the server.

Or Dropbox allows you to keep a directory of files synchronised between multiple PCs. You can't "share and edit live online", though - the files are downloaded to each PC, edited locally, then uploaded back to the server.
