Connect the USB flash drive into PC’s USB port. As soon as you do that, a window pops up. It shows the device’s name. Click on the ‘open folder to view files’. As the main folder opens, you can create a new folder in it, to store the document. Now select the drive or folder you want to copy, and drag it straight to the folder where you want to put it. The entire document will have been copied complete by now.

In order to protect this data, you can install USB Copy Protection software that prevents the unauthorized access to the USB flash disk.
