USB Flash Drive - Beginners Guide of How to Select and Use 

It is refreshing to have explanations with a good background overview and which do not assume that the learner/Luddite is familiar with the terminology or device. Completely free of condescension too. You did a good job. Thank you!

I have a friend who isn't very well-versed with technology/computers, and asked me to write him an email with instructions on how to use a USB drive. Virtually every grueling detail I was dreading having to verbalize is covered fantastically well in this video. Thank you very much, GuruBrew, for respecting that there are still users who need every detail meticulously spelled out.

Eight years later and your video is still giving Steve. You could not have explained any clearer Steve especially for a numpty like me. Thanks & Stay safe Ted

Thanks! This helps an old girl like me understand USB Flash Drives a little better! I am 71 yrs old (young) and every day is a learning process! Thanks for helping out!

Thank you Steve, for talking plainly so I could understand what you are talking about, and not jumping all over the place as some do. I almost gave up trying to find out how to use the Flash Drive. My Daughter always done this for me, she died in 2018, so I am learning to do this my self. Being 74 years old, it was not easy finding this information. You are an Angel and a Blessing. Thank you so much!

So much better than trying to have my daughter explain it! Very helpful and understandable and no exasperated grumphs. Thank you.

Thank you! Just like another posting to you I am a mature lady of 64. Now I have two towers and two laptops and am finding out all the amazing things I can do. I am an Artist for 38 years and have made a great living this way. Using this technology for manipulation of my product is Trippy( Not including security cameras and 3D printing ) ! I was thinking I needed a disk player on my new tower but after seeing you I don't! I appreciate you...many thanks!

Very helpful for those of us who are senior citizens and not very familiar with technology . Thank you.

Finally, a how to video with clear audio (I have a hearing problem) and video. As previously stated, this was clear and concise. I will be back in the future for other computer topics, I am sure

You made this so much easier to understand with such great explanations and not talking so darn fast that you have to rewind several times. I love your calmness. Really helped me out. Thanks

Love you patient calm method of teaching. I am 74 years old trying to get in tune with today's communication world, thank you so much, didn't know this kind of help existed, Praise God.

thanks for explaining the usb flash drive , in simple terns. I'm 64 yrs old and this lesson truly helped

Simple explanation which is why I liked it. I’m just learning about how to store the 1000’s of photos etc taken of my kids and grandchildren (11]. Thanks for well done presentation for a beginner.

I've watched several videos while learning to use a computer, but your video is very well done. I actually understood it the first time I watched!!! Thank you

Very appreciative of the hands on down to earth explanation and screen explanation. As Linda S. commented, better than trying to have my son explain. Thanks!

Thanks for not dragging it out and thanks for making it understandable and friendly!!

I am a "non-techie" and appreciate this clear and concise clip - way more patient instructor than my boyfriend who thinks he knows how to do it!

I just started college and am not all that computer savvy. Of course, today's college experience is all about knowing how to use computers. My first 3 classes are, pretty much, all about getting comfortable with using computers and unfamiliar software (like Canvas) and one of my first assignments requires my being able to put my school work on a flash drive (which I have NEVER done). Your video makes it look pretty darned easy! Thank you!!!

I like the way you presented the use of a thumb drive, it was concise and simple. Thanks.

Absolutely first rate. Your presentation instructs at our level of competence and never tries to impress us with your obvious expertise. Bravo!

This is so clear and presented so that I, an 82 year old woman, understands how to use one.

Extremely useful! I was pretty clueless. Now, I feel confident using the drive. Thanks!!

thank you for keeping it in English like "watching 65" said 6YEARS AGO !! wow ive been missing out for that long. Thank You

thankyou, I am an older, no longer working person, and throwing myself into this wonderful world of electronics. My first electronic device was given to me for Christmas, I was 8 years old and it was a reel to reel recorder, so nice and slow we go!

Very good. Helpful. I've used computers since they came out! Original floppies, hard floppies, CD's, and now flash drives. Thanks for helping me keep up.

Clear , consice & educational. In the market for flash drives and I feel confident enough to purchase what I need. Many thanks !

Very easy for a novice (like me) to understand. Thanks

Excellent simplified instructions for beginners!

I found this video very helpful. I've had friends saving things on my flash drive for me but I really didn't understand what to do with it once I viewed it in my computer. Now I understand how to transfer it, move it to the desktop and delete it if I no longer need it. Thanks a bunch.

I just got my first thumb drive. It had no instructions so you were a godsend.

I've been watching your channel all day. Refreshed my memory plenty, but the best was this video about the flash drives, about which I've wondered every time I have gone grocery shopping or picked up a script at the pharmacy. Thank you.

Steve you are truly a life saver!!! Cant thank you enough and your presentation was crystal clear. Thank you thank you thank you!

I only needed to watch this one time to get it. Thanks for the easy to understand explanation without a bunch of other off topic crap I didn't want or need to know. MB

Steve, This is my first time at your site and I'm impressed by your thoroughness. Thanks so much for keeping it in an English I can understand and for going over the process step by step. Keep up the excellent work.

Hi - Thank you for a very easy to understood delivery for someone who is new to this and in their late 60's. Excellent teaching and very clear. Will be checking out your videos regularly, when I want to learn something. All the way from Queensland, Australia.

I'll be back. Learned a lot. You're a good teacher.

thanks, I was feeling the demo was kind-of slow, but with patience, I found your explanation simply genius ! Although the history was when I wanted to find a quick education for the specific question of How to get files in and out of my pc. Sooo thank you, it was great

Thank you so much for explaining and not rushing through the process. Thanks again

Thanks!!! Straight, direct & to-the-point! Much appreciated!

for someone like me(72)I could understand,you speak so clear and yu make it sound easy,so I will listen about 5 more times and I will get it!!! Thanks

Very helpful, easy to understand and just the right amount of information.

Straight to the point at a perfect understanding pace. Thank you

ty you so much for sharing this info. I like that you didn't talk fast. this helps to stay the course with your helpful tutorial on USB Flash Drive Beginners Guide

A perfect demo. Simply presented, straight forward and thoroughly informative. Couldn't ask for a better tutorial.

Well done my friend. Steve, through the years on RU-vid and other informative sites I've listened to many instructors on how to's? Not to take away from some of them, but you pal stand alone from them all ! A true gift you have to give back to others. Your calm and cool thoroughness of explaining is spot on. Without confusion of any sort. And for that ! Even though reading all of these comments of mutual feelings on your teaching skills. I have to put my 2 cents in. And for that I give you a At ta Boy, My Man, and a pat on the back! As a reminder well done Sir. And if are paths should cross one day. You got a Brew or 2 on me! Thanks, Peace & Rock n' Roll !

Thank you for your clear detailed description of how to use the Cruzer. It was most helpful to this person who is not a GURU.

Thank you for making a clear, easy to follow instructional video!

Thank you Steve at GuruBrew. You presented this "how-to" video in a pleasant concise manner. Even if I knew something already, it was good that you explained every part of this procedure. I'm so glad that I searched through all of the worthless videos to find this one. Good job.

So glad that you made this very understandable video. I feel able to use my usb flash drive for saving my pictures. Great job. Thank you.

Loved the video. Very helpful to someone who can barely turn a computer on

Thank you for helping an old lady learn something!

Thanks for the information. I like the way you spoke so clearly and slowly. I've got too much stuff on my computer, so I'll store a lot of the seldom used stuff in USB Drives. I understand I can always use it to access what's been stored. I've never handled one before, but I have the confidence that it'll work out.

Thank you for showing me how to use a usb memory stick. my Granddaughter was always going to show me, but now she is a senior in high school and doesn't have a lot time for old Grandma. thanks again and take care.

Hi Steve I truly enjoyed this video. I am a Mac user now but I get the idea. I have never used my thumb no now it is called Flash drive but I am learning from all you great people who put video's out there for us to watch and learn. I love youtube video's only problem I have is some people do not keep the camera on what the hands are doing and then I cannot see what I need to know. I followed you though. I hope you have more for me to watch. Wish all your video's were shown together so I don't have to hunt for them. Keep up the good work - 72 year old people enjoy learning from you younger ones. Just Judy

I am 81 years old ; but still able to learn THANKS FOR DOING THIS!!!!!

Thank you for speaking slowly and this explains a flash drive perfectly. I Liked seeing the history of storage devices...

Finally someone talked in a language I could understand. Thank you, thank you!!!!!

I must say this is very interesting and very helpful. I like using flash drives they are very easy to store or hold your files. Awesome video because he is explaining step by step.

Really straightforward and easy to understand. Thank you 😊

Clear and easy to understand.

Excellent presentation. I'll be back. Love the way you did this

A very easy explanation for us technophobes! What a pleasant gentleman, a pleasure to listen to. Will try to find more from him and maybe learn something, lol! Thank you.

I'm an old newbie at this. Thanks for the instruction. It makes sense. Now let's see whether I can do it.

Steve, you are wonderful! Thank you so much! With noone around, I depend on your good videos!

Thank you. You made this so simple to understand, especially for me when you used a floppy disk...then it all made sense!

EXTREMELY helpful Video. I don't know how anyone could give this a thumbs down. (maybe they're just jealous that they can't teach in such an awesome way - IDK) Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much x a gazillion!! *seriously* A super PLUS video.

Thank you-you explained that so well! Even my friends/relatives who I thought would know what I was talking about either had no time to reply (had LOTS of snow last night-they are all moving snow this morning!) or had no clue what I meant???? Thanks again!

Excellent! Thank you. I am new to all of this. My family are the Flint Stones......so I really appreciate your presentation!

Thankyou Steve this is a whole new world of enjoyment for me. Who wouda thunk it would be so easy!

Thank you for showing me how to use a flash drive

Thanks you made it very easy and going slow so we don't miss anything important

An A-1 tutorial!. Crystal clear. Thanks.

id just like to say im new to all this stuff ,but wow u really explain things clearly ,id recommend your page to anyone thankx

I found your video moments after trawling text sites for basic advice on using a stick to transfer stuff from my current laptop to a new one I'm about to get. I didn't get straight answers/info from those sites but having watched your clip I have all my questions answered by your good self. I'm definitely no techie but I'm confident enough now to go ahead and buy a stick. Thanks very much indeed for being so clear and easy to understand. Cheers.

simple and to the point,thanks steve
