How would you get a document from a "flash drive" "thumb drive" "USB drive" to any computer.......plug it into USB. A flash drive is simply like a hard drive. You then simply click on that drive and "Save As" into the folder you want whether it be under "documents" or whatever you so choose on your MAC/PC. You can do it in a variety of ways as far as sharing on an iPhone, iPad, and such. You can go to Dropbox and get it on your MAC and also download it on your iPad and iPhone and access anything you save in Dropbox from any computer or device. You could also use ICloud or iCloud Drive and access the files from any iOS device. I personally like Dropbox b/c i have a PC at work but use MacBooks and iPads at home. It's also easy b/c then i can log in on Dropbox from anyone's computer and have access.

Agreed, thumb drive then use Dropbox. My dropbox account is on my computer, iPad, and Phone. I mostly use it for sermons and that way I have them on whichever device I need them on. Easy Easy.
