    Is there a way I can view and play media files on my computer that's on the same network as my Z10. I want something like Android's DLNA feature where I can play the media files on my Z10 and have an option to either download and save them on my device or just stream them. If there is, how do I set it up?

    I have a software called "MediaBrowser 3" on my PC. It's very good for organizing a media library with movies, TV Shows etc.
    It also offers DLNA services. Open the browser on your Z10, go to http:\\<your computers_ip>:8096/mediabrowser and you can stream your media in a really nice way!
    They also have an Android app that works really good!
    And the best of all: It's free!

    To download media try BlackBerry Link and the Filemanager on your device

    The app you are searching is the File Manager. You have to enable Link over Wi-Fi and have it running of course.

    You can open Settings > BlackBerry Link to learn more about the process.

    File Manager doesn't do what I want to do, it can't browse files on my pc that's why I'm asking if there's a streaming media app. I've tried using File Manager to no avail

    With Link enabled, you can browse and read media files on your PC from your phone with the File Manager. If you tap the Learn More link in the settings as I stated, you will find all the info.

    Furthermore, this works even if you are not on the same network ; you're at work and need a file on your home computer, it's the way to go.
