Where to find or download USB Driver folder?


I am following the guide on http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html for installing driver software so I can run applications on my actual Nexus 7. I got to this step in the directions(ironic cause its also step 7)

7.Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\.)

I tried doing the following enter image description hereHowever when I hit browse, I got a dialog prompt saying "Windows could not find driver software for your device". The Android documentation stated that "The Google USB Driver is located in \extras\google\usb_driver\". When I navigated into \extras\google, this is all i saw enter image description here

Is there anyway I could download the usb_driver directory manually? The sdk came along with the Android Studio download. I don't know why that usb_driver directory isn't there.

  • The issue was that I jumped ahead and skipped the most important step, downloading the Google USB Driver......enter image description here
