Motorola Device Manager
by Motorola Mobility LLC
Motorola Device Manager installs the USB drivers and software needed to connect a Motorola phone or tablet to a Windows PC and update its software.
Features:
- This software allows you to connect your Motorola phone or tablet to your computer with a USB cable. It contains the USB drivers that Windows needs to recognize the device. For certain Android devices, the software also offers an easy and straightforward way of installing software updates to your phone when it is connected to your computer.
- Once the drivers are installed, the phone appears in Windows when it is connected, and you can copy your music, photos, and videos between the phone and the computer in File Explorer. This makes the exchange of files from your phone to your computer much easier, as you can simply drag and drop the photos, videos, and music, as long as the phone is connected with the cable.
- The installer is a simple wizard that sets up the drivers in a few steps and does not need any configuration. Motorola Device Manager is meant for USB connections only: Bluetooth driver updates for your computer are delivered through Windows Update, not through this package. Older releases also supported devices running Motorola OS and Windows Mobile in addition to Android.
- Motorola Device Manager is free and is offered on the Motorola support website. The Windows version works on Windows 7 or later in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions, and a separate version is available for macOS 10.13 or later, so it can be used by just about any Motorola owner with a computer.
In conclusion, this software is useful for people using Motorola phones and tablets who need their computer to recognize the device, want a reliable way to transfer files from phone to computer, or need to install a software update from the PC. It does not include a file manager or backup tools of its own, so file handling is done in Windows itself. The package is published by Motorola Mobility, which is now a Lenovo company, and newer driver releases are posted on the same support page.
