    Honestly thank you so much! I've been trying to move my files for ever and I watched a lot of videos but this was the only helpful one! There was just a slight difference for me maybe because of the update, when I pressed on copy I didn't have the menu bar. I simply had "copy here", so I was really confused, turns out you just have to go back and press on USB 1 and then press on "copy here".

    If anyone is struggling with your flash drive being recognized (pixel wants you to format it) I have a free solution but it takes a little work:
    1. Copy the memory stick to your computer.
    2. Insert memory stick into pixel and format it.
    3. Copy all the data back onto the memory stick from the computer.
    4. Now when you insert into the pixel everything on the card will read okay. In my experience using the app memory zone (free) also helps you with view your media and move it around/transfer it easily but not necessary if you don't want to. You can use the factory app "files" instead.
