applications, etc. Usually, we keep our work data on the computer at the office while saving private
data on the PC at home. Yet, what if you need to take your work home to continue working?
You may directly send the needed files to yourself through social communication apps or by email
when you are at the office. Then, when you go home, just log into your account and receive those
files and store them on the home computer.

How Do I Transfer Photos from My Computer to a USB Stick – Copy & Paste
First of all, you can take advantage of the most common way that nearly all compute users know to
help you transfer pictures. That is copy and paste.
1. Insert the USB stick into the USB port on your device.
2. Open Windows File Explorer and find where the photos that you would like to transfer are.
2. Right-click on one of the target photos and select Copy.
3. Move to the USB flash drive, right-click on any blank area and choose Paste.
4. Wait for the process to complete.
5. Repeat the operations to transfer all the target images.
If you have many graphics that need to be transferred, it is troublesome to transfer them one by
one. Thus, you can transfer them quickly by adopting either of the below methods.
 Put all photos that you want to transfer in a folder and copy & paste the folder in one time.
 Put all target photos in one location, select them all, then copy and paste them at one time.
For the copy-and-paste action, you can use keyboard shortcuts to replace the options. “Ctrl + C” can
replace copy and “Ctrl + V” can replace paste. Or, just click the Crop/Paste option on the toolbar.

3. Alt=copy/paste photos
If you don’t need to keep the source photos in their original location, you can cut (Ctrl + X) and paste
them into the target USB disk. In this way, the time needed to complete the transmission will be
shorter.

Secondly, you can directly drag the target pictures to the destination.
Step 1. Connect your USB hard disk to your PC.
Step 2. Open File Explorer and go to the location where the source photos locate.
Step 3. Open the USB flash drive in Windows Explorer.
Step 4. Shrink both explorer windows and put them side by side on your desktop.
Step 5. Left-click on the target photo(s) in the source explorer, press and hold the left-click key on
your mouse, drag the photo(s) to the USB explorer, and release the mouse key.
Thus, the target photos have successfully been copied to the destination USB drive.
