One touch file transfer

Sheppard122 · February 22, 2021

I am looking for a way to do file transfers from usb to hdd. The idea being that I would insert a usb or sd card into my pc and with the touch of a key it would transfer all the files to a specific spot on the hdd.

What files? Your idea only works if it's a static directory. If that is the case you can just use sync software and use no keys to do it. If it's a bunch of random files and directories then no that doesn't exist as the computer can't know what you want to copy without your input.

Also there is already a shortcut sort off in windows right click -> send to -> choose drive

If the USB drive is always using the same drive letter, you can do this through a simple batch file. You can then create a macro to bind the batch file to a key.

robocopy E:\ D:\HDD\Location_For_Files /e

Just replace E:\ with the letter for the USB drive and the D:\ path for where ever you want the files to be copied to. Save it as .bat and bind it to a key or just pin it to start of something and run it.
