A decade ago, USB flash drives were an invaluable part of my everyday carry. I used them for file storage, file transfers, and everything in between. Now, they’re simply not as useful for common daily tasks. Small file transfers can be handled on-device or with cloud storage services, and larger ones are better suited for external SSDs and other storage devices. Plummeting flash storage costs have made microSD cards and SSDs much more attractive than USB drives for the average user.
