Screen sharing has always been a pretty useful feature on a Mac…whether sharing work, accessing files, or trouble-shooting a computer from another location. That’s why it’s great to know that Mac OS X Lion has made Screen Sharing even better.

Over at macstories.net, they doing a pretty good job of discussing what’s new and better. They write: The Screen Sharing.app is available inside System -> Library -> Core Services if you want to manually launch it, but its functionalities are tightly integrated with the Finder, which can recognize computers on a local or remote network either with tools like Hamachi and Back to my Mac, or the Mac’s own Sharing settings in System Preferences.

A few new features get pointed out as well: In OS X Lion, Screen Sharing gets full-screen mode and a new toolbar that’s got icons to get the remote clipboard, send the contents of the clipboard to a remote computer, grab a screenshot, zoom, and switch to observe-only mode.

They go on to say: To log into a Mac, Lion spices up Screen Sharing with some new options: Apple ID, and per-user login. The former is a new way to authenticate with another Mac running Lion without having to create multiple user accounts; in the remote Mac, you can set up as many Apple IDs as you want, so that they’ll be authorized to initiate screen-sharing sessions.

All in all, it sounds like many great improvements to an already great feature. Have you tried out Screen Sharing yet in Mac OS X Lion?
