  2. open USB

    Hello,

    When using a USB flash drive, no additional cables or adapters are required. To answer your query, you may refer to the steps below on how to open a USB flash drive:

    • Plug your USB flash drive into an available USB port on your computer.
    • The drive will appear as a removable disk and will bring up a window showing the memory stick is now seen as a drive on your computer.
      You will also get a menu or options to use the device.
    • Select Open folder to view files.

    For further queries, feel free to post back.

    My folder in my usb drive cannot open

    Can't open files on USB without changing drive letter

    Thank you for providing us the screenshot. Permissions are rules that determine whether you can access or change files and folders. You have to make sure that
    you are logged on as an administrator to change permissions on files and folders. Let us perform again the steps below:

    • Right-click the file or folder, and then click Properties.
    • Click the Security tab.
    • Under Group or user names, click your name to see the permissions that you have.
    • Click Edit, click your name, select the check boxes for the permissions that you must have, and then click
      OK.
    We also suggest that you check whether the USB flash drive is shown in the File explorer and try to open the files from there.

    Keep us updated with the result.

    Thank you.
