How to Put YouTube Videos on Flash Drive

By Chappy Sinclair

Flash drives are small, external USB storage devices. They can be connected to any computer that has USB ports. The most common use of a flash drive is to transport files from one computer to another. Any type of file can be stored on a flash drive as long as the space permits it. For example, you can download a video from YouTube and save the file onto your flash drive.
