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.
