Step-by-step guide on how to transfer or copy photos, music and more to Droid X:
Step 1: Mount Motorola Droid X to you computer via USB.
Step 2: Take the Droid X and go to Notifications (there are two ways you can realize it: Touch the nitification bar at the top of the Droid X’s screen and drag it down, or press Menu - > Notifications). Then touch USB connection.
Next, touch USB Mass Storage and press OK. The computer will read the handset as an external drive.
Once your SD card is mounted on your computer, you can easily open the memory card in My computer/Computer.
Step 3: Transfer/copy photos, music or movies from your computer to the Droid X. If you want to easily select your videos/movies on Droid X, you can create a file named photo, movie or music in the root folder on the Droid X.
Step 4: Unmount SD card. After the photos, music and movies are transferred to Motorola Droid X, you can eject the drive.
That’s it! Now you can play movies and music on your Droid X as well as see photos using its Gallery app. The media files should look fantastic on the Droid X’s screen if the original sources are of good or high quality.

* The video or movie formats TiVo, WMV/WMV HD, MKV, AVI, MTS, M2TS, Quicktime MOV, DivX, MXF, TS, etc can not directly play on Motorola Droid X.
