Acer Liquid Driver Download

Acer has published USB drivers for their Acer Liquid smartphone series. These USB drivers come in handy if a customer is experiencing synchronization problems between the smartphone and a computer system. The Liquid USB driver can be downloaded at Acer’s FTP server. It has a large size of 66 Megabytes which can be partially attributed to the fact that 32-bit and 64-bit drivers for the Acer Liquid are included in the zip file.

Both drivers contain the Acer Liquid Tool Setup tool which can be used to install the appropriate driver on the computer system running a Windows operating system.

To enable Cloud Sync or sync-over-Wi-Fi*, Acer Sync software components must be installed on your Acer Windows Phone.

The installed USB driver is a requirement for the Acer Sync software to function properly. The Acer Sync software can also be downloaded from Acer’s ftp server.
