Please note: CompanionLink has two different USB methods to synchronize to Android.

  • Direct USB (Mass Storage Mode)
  • ADB Mode

We recommend the USB Direct method for most customers. It is more reliable, and does not require an ADB Driver installation. Please try this method first.

If you cannot synchronize using Direct USB, here is a guide to download ADB drivers for Sync using ADB Mode.

USB drivers are required for ADB Mode. To install them:

1. Disconnect your Android phone from your PC.

2. Download and install the ADB Mode driver: https://www.companionlink.com/files/special/DejaConnectADB.exe

3. Turn on USB debugging on your Android device:

When ADB Mode is selected in DejaOffice as the method of sync, tap the "Enable Debugging" pop up and ensure USB Debugging is checked\the slider is set to On.
  • For Older DejaOffice versions, USB Debugging can also be enabled through the Android Settings:
Android 2.x - 3.x devices: Go to Settings > Applications > Development > Enable USB debugging. (More Info)
Android 4.x devices: Go to Settings > Developer Options > Enable USB debugging. (More Info)

4. Reconnect your Android device to your PC.

  5. Tap on the "Build Number" button about 7 times.
