The USB option in the dialog box that appears when you connect your smartphone to your computer with a USB cable allows
you to drag most files from a folder on your computer to a folder on your smartphone or media card. The media option in the
dialog box allows you to transfer media files that are protected with DRM to and from your smartphone. Both options allow
you to use the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to transfer files to and from your smartphone.
If you want to manage and preserve the information or the encryption that is associated with your media files when you
transfer files between your smartphone and your computer, use the media option in the BlackBerry Desktop Software. To
download the BlackBerry Desktop Software, from your computer, visit
www.blackberry.com/desktop and select the
appropriate option for your computer.
