Agreed. I never had an issue with my Pixel 5. There may be a way to do it on 7 Pro just through files but I have yet to find it.

I just downloaded Total Commander and it allowed me to move the a file from internal storage to the flash drive. So success!! Thanks B. Diddy. I appreciate everyone's help

Not yet. Been preoccupied over the holiday. I will definitely give it a shot though

Thank you for your responses. Jeremy8000, I don't know how the flash drive is formatted. I do know that my Pixel 7 Pro recognizes it and I can access it's files from the phone. I was also able to download files from my Pixel 5 directly into this same flash drive. For some reason, with the 7...

Thank you Vidjunky. I did sign up and would be happy to have my question moved to the appropriate thread.

I could easily do it with my Pixel 5 but when I click on a file in my Pixel 7 Pro, and then hit "move to" or "copy to" I don't get an option to save to my flash drive only internal storage. When connected, my phone recognizes the flash drive and I can search it through Google files. I just...
