If you don't want to install additional software, you can also use a computer as an intermediary to transfer files from Android to a USB flash drive. However, this process is relatively more complicated:
Step 1. First, connect Android to your computer using the USB cable. Now, connect your flash drive to the same computer.

Step 3. Then, open your device's file manager, select the files you wish to transfer and drag them onto your computer.
Step 4. Insert the USB flash drive into the computer and wait for the device to detect it.
Step 5. On your computer, run "File Manager" and choose the files you want to copy to the flash drive. You can copy and drag them over to your USB drive.
If you frequently need to synchronize files between different devices, consider using cloud services. Here's a detailed tutorial:
Step 1. On your Android device, upload files to a cloud storage service. Let's take Google Drive as an example.
Open the Google Drive app on your Android device > tap the "+" icon > select "Upload" > choose the files you want to upload. The files will automatically be uploaded to your Google Drive account.
Step 2. Sign in to the same cloud service account on your computer, download the files to your local drive, and then copy them to your USB flash drive.
File Format Compatibility: Ensure that the file format you intend to transfer is compatible with both the USB flash drive and the target device.
Storage Capacity: Check if the USB flash drive has sufficient storage space to receive the files.
Safely Remove: Before disconnecting the USB flash drive, ensure that you safely remove it from the Android device to prevent data corruption.
Backup Important Data: It is recommended to back up your Android data before the transfer, just in case.
Most Android devices support common file formats such as images (JPEG, PNG), videos (MP4, AVI), audios (MP3, WAV), and documents (PDF, DOCX). However, files generated by specific applications may require dedicated software or apps to be opened.
