About BlackBerry ID and BlackBerry Link
Your BlackBerry ID is a username (email address) and password used to access multiple BlackBerry
products and services, such as BBM and the BlackBerry World storefront. In many situations, your
BlackBerry ID allows BlackBerry products to work seamlessly without prompting you to enter your
username and password.
If you don't have a BlackBerry ID and you want one, you can create it from BlackBerry Link.
When you sign in with your BlackBerry ID in BlackBerry Link or BlackBerry Blend, your computer
becomes another device that is associated with your BlackBerry ID. All your devices associated with
your BlackBerry ID appear in BlackBerry Link.
About remote file access
Imagine arriving at a meeting, only to discover that a document you need is on your computer. Remote
file access lets you use the File Manager app on your device to access and manage media and
documents on the computer that BlackBerry Link is installed on.
By default, devices you add to BlackBerry Link can access files in the media and documents libraries on
your computer, as long as they are associated with the same BlackBerry ID you use in BlackBerry Link.
You can turn off remote access for specific devices.
