Media Transfer Protocol

Microsoft has a lot of drivers under its wing, and among this collection is Media Transfer Protocol, the very driver you need to dock your computer with a smartphone or other portable device. Media Transfer Protocol is an official driver created by the guys from Microsoft. With its help a smartphone or tablet can be connected to a desktop computer or laptop. As a result, all files in the mobile gadget can be managed from the computer. In other words, the driver connects the Android mobile system with Windows or can also be expressed as docking the phone with the computer. Of course, most modern versions of Windows already initially contain the Media Transfer Protocol driver, but older operating systems do not have this feature and for them you have to download this driver from the Internet.

Using the software

Installing Media Transfer Protocol is only necessary if you experience errors when trying to transfer data from your phone to your computer. Also, this software will be useful if the computer does not see the Android device connected to it. And also Media Transfer Protocol is relevant for people who have reflashed their operating system or updated it and after that they have problems with connecting the device or downloading/uploading files. This is especially true for custom firmware, which almost always does not contain this driver in its clip. And finally this driver is needed to interact with certain Android managers. True, not always.
