It doesn't have a drive letter in Windows Explorer. The name is simply

Hi Andy.
Root of the problem is in the nature of Media Transfer Protocol. This
protocol behaves differently than usual filesystem. For this reason
there is no drive letter for Your Moto G in Windows, nor in Cygwin.
Best solution I found so far: install sshd on Your Moto G and use scp or
rsync to backup files from Your android device.
I am using SSHelper.
