Automatically Copy Files When USB Drive Connected

How to Make USB Auto Copy Files When Plugged In

A lot of people say that they are looking for a solution for copying or backing up all the files from a hard disk to a specific directory on a USB memory device once the USB is connected. It seems difficult to realize this automatic copying, but we still have a solution. 

Recommended: Turn to Windows Backup and Recovery Software for Help

To solve this issue, we'd like to recommend a professional and easy-to-use backup tool - EaseUS's backup software to you. It supports different types of backup, clone, restoration and so on and its File Backup feature enables you to automatically back up and copy files when the USB drive is connected. 

Why Do You Choose EaseUS Todo Backup:

• Backup complete partitions or hard drives
• Backup specific single files or folders
• Space-saving backup due to archive compression and leaving out free space
• Easy to handle
• Fully supports Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP

How Does It Work:

You'll need to take two moves:

1. This tool will create an image of your file to the USB first.

Note: You can preview the image, but if you want to edit it, you must copy it to another place or recover it by using the tool. The image is a little bit different, for it takes less space but the content keeping the same.

2. Then you'll need to set a schedule for the automatic backup.

This tool can not only automatically copy files when the USB drive is connected but also automatically copy files from one folder to another easily.
