Why need to copy flash drive to flash drive

Nowadays, flash drives may be used to transfer files between different computers, or store your files somewhere outside of your computer for safekeeping. And sometimes, you may need to copy files from flash drive to flash drive. For example, there are more and more data on your flash drive that is almost full, and you need more space. Therefore, you may want to upgrade the flash drive to a larger flash drive.

Prime tool to copy files from flash drive to another

To copy files from flash drive to flash drive, just a Ctrl C + Ctrl V is not a good method. If there are just a few personal files and folders, this way can be useful. But if there are large amounts of files, it will take too much time to repeat this operation that may make you feel annoyed.

Therefore, you need third-party software to help you copy flash drive to another flash drive. I highly recommend AOMEI Backupper Professional.

● It offers the File Backup function that can help you create an image file of selected files or folders, and you can recover lost files from the image file anytime you need.
● It includes the Disk Clone feature which enables you to copy all files from one hard drive to another directly.
● It supports Windows Vista/XP/7/8/10.

Besides, to protect important data, this software supports automatic backup with USB plug in feature. If you select “USB plug in” option from Schedule for the first time, then, every time you connect the flash drive to computer, this software will back up files automatically.
