Remote Desktop Connection on Blackberry Android device

Hello Folks,

Trust this finds you well and safe there in the global pandemic times.

I am a BlackBerry user since 2009 and currently using my 8th BlackBerry device overall. Used BlackBerry OS 7 to 10 and now on BlackBerry android 8 (Key2).

I really enjoyed using BlackBerry link while on BlackBerry 10 devices that allowed to use my Windows 10 PC from Phone.

Now, I'm searching a way to do the same.

Can anyone help me to find a way to use my PC remotely (mainly to access my files even if PC is off) from my BlackBerry android device (key2) ?

All your suggestions are always welcome!

Good day!

Regards, Aniruddh

You want to access your local PC files when it's turned off?

Best way of course is to use a cloud solution like OneDrive. I find the idea of having local files rather quaint in 2020.

You could set up a ftp server on your PC, and use a good file manager on your device like Solid Explorer to access the server from anywhere.

okay. bro. I have MS office paid subscription which gives me 1TB storage space in overdrive.
so I can utilise it.

But I really miss BlackBerry link!

Use OneDirve for Photo, Videos, Documents and other files synced.
Use Outlook.com (or others) to keep you Contacts, Emails, Calendar all synced
Use the "Your Phone" app to allow you to use text messages on your PC.

Yes. Perfect solution. Thank you.

What's the "Your Phone" app? Is that a google play store thing, or a BlackBerry Android thing!

It's a Microsoft app. Works well.
