I think it is an underrated feature which helped me more than once when I needed to move or transfer data between the device and my computer or network drive at work. Yes, you still need to use a BES and it only works in the Work space of the device but I&#8217;m more than OK with that. It&#8217;s not an app I use every day but sometimes, when for whatever reason email or storing in the cloud are not an option or possible, it&#8217;s an easy way to get to the data. <\/p>\n<p>A few days ago I needed a file I knew I had downloaded on my laptop at work but couldn&#8217;t remember the site I got it from. So I fired up Blackberry Work Drives, connected to my Download folder and grabbed the document from there. While accessing the app I also got notified about an update being available. Besides some design changes and bug fixing, i.e. folders with \u201cUmlaute\u201d are now supported, the main improvements are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy authentication with integration in BlackBerry 10 Credential Manager<\/li>\n<li>Easier access for users now with remote drive mapping by BES administrator<\/li>\n<li>Support for Microsoft SharePoint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What it didn&#8217;t say though was that you need BES 10.2.3 to have the remote drive mapping. Luckily it is available since yesterday as well.<br \/>\nApparently the SharePoint integration does not work that well, or at all, but I have no SP site to test so I can&#8217;t comment on that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-680-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/ponte.ch\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2014\\\/06\\\/work.png&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;686&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Work space&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Work space&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/ponte.ch\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2014\\\/06\\\/add-nd-or-sp.png&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;685&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;add&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Add Network Drive or Sharepoint Site&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/ponte.ch\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2014\\\/06\\\/accounts.png&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;687&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Accounts&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Network Drive Credentials Accounts&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I had written a few months back, one of the features I really like on BlackBerry 10 devices are the BlackBerry Work Drives.
