Whether you have a Windows or Mac computer, and regardless of how old or new it is, the process for copying images or other files to a flash drive is essentially the same. You can drag the files or use the copy and paste function available on your system. Backing up important pictures to a flash drive is a great way to ensure your favorite memories aren't destroyed if your computer hard drive ever fails.

Close the flash drive after the copying is complete. Click the "Safely remove hardware" button on the system tray beside the clock on your desktop and click your flash drive's assigned letter in the "Hardware" window. Click "Stop."

If the "Safely remove hardware" option doesn't appear on your version of Windows, just wait a minute or so after the copying appears to be done and then remove the flash drive from your computer.

For Mac users, drag the flash drive from the desktop to the recycle bin to eject it. You can now safely remove your flash drive from the computer.

As a business owner, you may use imagery to promote a product on a company website or enhance a presentation. If many of the images are stored on a PC, however, it’s a good idea to use a storage device to create a backup copy. SanDisk storage devices, including flash drives and memory cards, don’t require third-party software to transfer files. You can complete the process using Windows Explorer.

1. Insert the SanDisk flash drive into an open USB port on the PC. If you’re using a SanDisk memory card, insert the device into the memory card slot on the computer. If you’re using an external memory card reader, insert the SanDisk card into the external memory card reader and then connect the USB end of the device to the PC.

2. Select the “Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer” option in the AutoPlay dialog box.

3. Navigate to the folder containing the images you want to transfer.

4. Select your preferred pictures. Right-click the selected images and highlight the “Send to” option. Select the “Removable Disk” option to automatically transfer the pictures to the storage device.
