We want to make sure you have your files with you all the time,  on your Blackberry.  This means giving you a dedicated GoAruna Files app to do the job.

In the past we have offered a version of GoAruna for Blackberry OS 4.3 – 4.6 and another for 4.7.  These versions of GoAruna, while functional, have not been up to the standard that we expect and deliver in our other apps for iPhone, iPad and Android.  This is due to many reasons but mostly due to the limitations of the lower versions of the Blackberry OS.

While Blackberry OS 5.0 itself is not quite up to the functionality and usability of iPhone OS or Android OS, it is getting better.  With the improvement to the OS by RIM, we are able to in turn offer a better experience and more functionality for GoAruna Files for Blackberry.

The new GoAruna Files for Blackberry 5.0 app has been approved and is now available for download from Blackberry App World.

What does GoAruna Files for Blackberry do? Here are a couple of the main uses:
– Manage and organize your Blackberry local files, documents and media
– Access, send, share and download your files stored in your GoAruna Online Storage account
– View and play all your video and music media
– Browse and view your photos and images
– Upload any of your existing files on your Blackberry to you GoAruna Online storage for safe keeping and to use on other devices and computers

So, if you have a Blackberry with OS 5 or higher, we suggest that you use this new version made especially for v5.0.  You can go and grab it from Blackberry App World!

You can find the detailed Blackberry device requirements, features and additional info on our Blackberry mobile app page.

For those of you that still have an older Blackberry OS, we will soon be releasing the following updated versions of GoAruna for Blackberry:

• - GoAruna Files for Blackberry OS 4.5 – 4.6
• - GoAruna Files for Blackberry OS 4.7

We are working on these older versions now so watch for news here on our blog in the next couple of weeks.

And here are the links you need for the new version available now.
