How to Use a USB Drive

A USB or flash drive allows you to save files and carry them with you wherever you go. These drives come in various storage capacities, enabling you to store larger files on those with more memory. Photo and video files typically require more space than written documents. It is essential to ensure that the computer you wish to connect your flash drive to has a USB port, which is a rectangular slot located on the side of the computer. Connecting the flash drive involves inserting the metal tip into the slot carefully, and if it does not fit, try flipping it over. Once connected, a system notification will appear on your computer screen, allowing you to access the files saved on your USB drive.
