    I was reading that in order to transfer files to and from PC to Priv, I should download BlackBerry Android Drivers from the blackberry site. The links are broken and I can't seem to find anything like drivers on the blackberry site. Where can I get them? Would prefer to not have to remove SD card each time. Do I need the drivers?

    Windows should download any necessary drivers automatically when you connect the phone.

    Thanks! Will doing it that way transfer to the SD card, or to the device itself? Will it allow a choice?

    Both the SD card and the internal storage should connect.

    Are you trying to do mass storage mode or MTP? Just because if you are, the Priv with Marshmallow doesn't have that feature (USB Mass Storage mode) anymore.

    What does that mean for transferring files?

    Not much about being able to transfer. Pretty sure it has to do with the speed of the process

    From the Beta Zone:

    If you happen to be having trouble with accessing files on your PRIV, you can download these updated drivers to help.

    Download this file: https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/D...1570F46266A608

    Then install the files and follow these instructions:
    1) Click "Start" and select "Control Panel"
    2) Open "Device Manager"
    3) In the list, look under "Portable Devices". There should be an entry with a yellow exclamation.
    4) Right click on the "MTP USB Device"
    5) Select "Update Driver Software"
    6) Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
    7) Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers"
    8) Select "USB composite device"
    9) Click "Next"

    I just did it last night for the first time.. Easy. I had to figure out what was wrong intimately though and it was cause I wasn't using a good cable. Once I used the cable for my rapid charger all went ok.
    Just install drivers. Than plug in phone to pc. It will search for windows drivers. Once that's done unplug the USB and stick it back in and ull see the option from the top pulldown to use usb etc.
    Than explore the phone like u would do any other pc related thing. Drag n drop etc.
