Busb

Although modern methods of file transfer revolve around the use of the Internet, popular means also include removable storage devices connected via USB. Chances are you need to transfer a lot of files, and fast. Luckily, you can rely on specialized applications like Busb to get the transfer task done for you, with minimum effort.

You first need to go through a setup process to ensure the proper functionality of the application. It’s best to run both the installer and the application with administrator privileges for the appropriate service to be created. Don’t worry though, nothing is going to harm your computer when the application is active.

Once the application is launched, you need to select the target USB storage device. Make sure it’s connected before you run the program, because there’s no refresh option, although the default browse dialog is usually able to update itself according to the new drive list.

On the other hand, you’re free to select any folder on your computer for backup, but the process is not automated this way. If configured with a USB storage device, then all content from the drive is automatically copied to the application installation folder as soon as it’s plugged in.

You can have the destination folder brought up at the press of a button. You can let the application automatically overwrite files with the same name or old entries, and even choose to have a log file written as an activity report. A backup is done every 20 minutes, with a function to manually trigger an operation at any given moment.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Busb is a practical tool to keep around if you need to copy data from a USB flash drive to your computer on a daily basis. Effort on your behalf mostly consists of selecting the target folder, with the rest being neatly accomplished by the application.
