Thank you for confirming my suspicions.<br>So my next step would be to buy an affordable thumb drive and find some Freeware that will do the sync/organization for me.<br><br>Any suggestions on Freeware ?<br>Thank you.<br><br>

<blockquote><em>Any suggestions on Freeware ?</em></blockquote><br>SyncToy is a common piece of freeware used for this purpose. A good article that also steps you through using it for the purposes you're looking for can be found on the following link:<br><br><a href="https://www.minitool.com/backup-tips/synctoy-windows-10.html" rel="ugc">https://www.minitool.com/backup-tips/synctoy-windows-10.html</a><br><br>It's pretty much a very small backup program and there are tons of others to choose from, many of which are free. If you wanted to go to the other end of the scale, something like <a href="https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree" rel="ugc">Macrium Reflect Free</a> would also do the job for you, and a whole lot more. All depends on personal preferences and needs.<br><br>Hope that's helpful.<br><br>Regards, Andrew

At least they try to sell something and possibly expensive...<br>Found two from your link...<br>128 GB between 80 and 100 USD<br>In Amazon I find trademark USB Sticks 128 GB for 18 Euros<br><br>I cannot recommend software as I do not use such solution.<br>But I would just try to use, what computer provides. So Windows Backup, redirected onedrive, but even robocopy will do the job, you can trigger is just by a sheduled task or a link on the desktop. <br>So there is not really a need for additional software.<br><br>The other option my be to use a photo management / editing tool, which are also usually able to create backups.&nbsp;

I have a lot of people asking for advice on Photo-Sticks. I had to search it myself to find out what they are. &nbsp;Looks like its a thumb-drive with an app to help non-tech people organize photo and video files, as it is described <a href="https://www.jeffstechadvice.com/us-comparison-bf-30-10-fb1606131362334?msclkid=c142a5eee9141565695bc52cc1fd6013&amp;utm_campaign=HolidaySale&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_medium=sem&amp;utm_source=bing&amp;utm_term=" rel="ugc">here</a>. <br><br>So if its just a thumb-drive w/an app, is there any freeware that has been published that will do the same thing ?<br><br>Does anyone have any experience with these ?<br><br>Thanks<br>Sid.<br><br>

So if its just a thumb-drive w/an app, is there any freeware that has been published that will do the same thing ?
Does anyone have any experience with these ?

Photo Stick(s)

Photo and imaging software is used to edit and compose raster images; Adobe Photoshop, which dominates the market, has its own topic. Common actions include cropping, slicing, retouching, color replacement, masking and erasing. Other programs include Apple Photo, Corel PaintShop Pro, GIMP, Serif PhotoPlus, Pixlr, PhotoScape, Picasa and IrfanView.

Images and Photos

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.
