Well if they don't use flash drives any more. Then what do they use?.
People use flash drives to easily store their small documents and use it on any computer they want. For easily portability. You don't use flash drive for backup.
It's also good to put your MP3 or whatever else on them. 64GB can store plenty of music. :)

For me I find working from the cloud much easier. While a USB is portable, it's another thing to remember and it wouldn't have been the first time I've forgotten to take it.
Probably would put it on my keys if it was less bulky.
My car stereo doesn't have an input for the cloud.
@Tiggrrrrr: Doesn't your phone though?
I didn't realise connecting a USB into your car stereo was something people did. Either way, I'm sure everyone has a spare USB lying around.
@pennypincher98: Tried plugging my phone into the USB port to update my maps and system firmware. Didn't work.
And apologies I was meant to be replying to the OP before who questioned why anyone would use USB sticks.
I got various sized usb flash drives. I usually use it for bringing assorted files.
Booting Linux distros or raspberry os as well.
Also have one i use for diagnosing, troubleshooting and repairing pc and laptops.
I personally haven't touch a flash drive ever since working from home but when I worked in IT my office drawer had around a dozen flash drives all loaded up with some form of bootable image / Gparted, hardware diagnostic programs, BIOS patches for laptops or antivirus software.
thankfully I don't actually ever have to buy one since they are work / office expenses..
I had a thumb drive on my keys for ~6yrs, ditched it for ~8yrs when I needed to thin out my keys, and now have one again for ~2yrs. They aren't really necessary but if you're the go to PC guy among friends/family they can be more convenient than other options at times. My justification these days includes that I carry very few keys and my thumb drive doubles as my key tag (bright colour, easy to identify at a distance).
I also have a handful of OS boot thumb drives, labelled ready to go, with some redundant drives so that I can avoid overwriting a known good OS install drive with an unknown potentially bad one (or failure on my behalf to make it a working boot drive). They are $2 thumb drives so part of the justification of doing it this way to avoid some minor hassle is that they cost next to nothing.

Most of my OzBargain purchases are considered a work expense these days ;) The pros of working IT!
Gparted squad assembleeeeeee
Google photos free upload is ending. This will be great!!!
They're further restricting the quality of free photos (high quality will now count to your quota).
What do people think is the best alternative now? Pay for space or use another service?
Auspost standard + $12 :(
No idea why they would add pick up cost to delivery. Is not like your order is only one being placed that day or maybe it is :/
yeah maybe
Just in case people are not aware of this:
USB 3.2 Gen 1 = USB 3.1 Gen 1 = USB 3.0.
So, it is just USB 3.0 flash drive so technically, as long as it beats USB 2.0 in sequential read, this flash drive qualifies for USB 3.0. So this only needs > 30MB/s sequential read to quality. Write can still be slow.
I was really tempted to just put USB 3.0 but someone wanting PU would just report it to be 3.2 G1
Fair enough, good marketing from the maker of this device.
Do people even use flash drives anymore? I don't see why one would need a drive of this size, even for backups (I think it's too small for that)
