About files and attachments

You can view and download attachments and save them to the BlackBerry® device memory or on a media card. If your email

account uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports accessing files on your organization's network, you can preview

files from your organization's network and save the files to your device or attach them directly to email messages without

downloading them. You can use the Files application to view a list of all the files that are saved on your device. You can also

rename, move, and delete files on your organization's network from your device.
To change attachments or files that you download, you can use third-party editing applications, such as Documents To Go®,

that are designed for use on BlackBerry devices.
