Best of all, if you use a USB you can take some strain off your computer, extending its data storage. Specific Use Case : If you're interacting with your team in-person, a USB flash drive is a good option for physically handing files to team members, and takes some of the storage strain off your devices.
Alternatively, a USB flash drive is safe to use as a back-up, so if your computer crashes you don't lose access to your files or folders. There are plenty of free online services that make uploading and sending large files both easy and incredibly quick. Jumpshare , for instance, lets you send up to MB worth of files with a free account — simply upload a file or folder, and Jumpshare provides you with a link to share the files. Plus, you can download the Jumpshare icon to your desktop. When you drag-and-drop files onto it, a link will be copied to your clipboard, which you can send to anyone, even if they don't have their own Jumpshare account.
