How to Download a Picture to a Flash Drive

Downloading a picture to a flash drive involves copying the picture from your computer to the USB device. A flash drive is a removable storage device that plugs into your computer's USB port. They can be used to store seldom-used files or to transfer files among computers. It is best to "copy" the image, rather than "move" it so that you have a backup of the file on your computer.
