BlackBerry Link is the desktop computer software which communicates with BlackBerry 10 devices. It was previously called BlackBerry Desktop Software and BlackBerry Desktop Manager. It allows users to synchronize their pictures, video, and audio with specific directories on their PC either over USB cable or wirelessly through the local Wi-Fi network. Users can also monitor their device’s memory usage, perform operating system updates, and back up their devices through BlackBerry Link.
