How do I use a flash drive?

I bought a digital frame for my mother for mother's day, and the clerk said I would need a flash drive to load it. Ok what do I do with it? I have photos and videos saved in "Windows Photo Gallery" and photos and videos saved in my e-mail folders that I want to get onto the frame. Your help please.

    You'll have to put the picture files directly on the drive. You can usually drag them directly from the folder where they're located onto the flash drive. Any pictures that are saved in emails will also have to be downloaded to the computer's hard drive so that you can transfer the files directly. When downloading them from emails you can save a step by choosing where they're saved and navigating to the flash drive as the destination, instead of the downloads folder that's usually the default.

    It appears the clerk was referring to a USB flash drive which you can purchase anywhere including the store where you bought the frame!

    You stick the flash drive into the USB drive of your computer and a window should pop up to reveal the contents of the drive (if not, open Windows explorer and open the content of the flash drive by double clicking on the drive) and leave it open.

    Then go to Windows Photo gallery and select the photos you want transferred then drag and drop onto the flash drive!

    Done!

    Disconnect flash drive and connect to photo frame and done!

If i'd like a accessible backup at the same time as i'm faraway from domicile, I both position a reproduction of the record in my Yahoo briefcase or e mail it to myself. That way i can acquire it everywhere there is internet get proper of entry to.
