Not to sound mean, but who needs an 8GB flash drive in this day and age. I think it would be better to simply provide a download link...
so people can turn it into a desktop or phone background? yeah that's a great idea, and selling point. >

We think that including something as a gift that users can actually find a use for is cool. >

Save money on the USB and provide a download QR/Link >

Not as cool tho. That’s the whole reason why you’d do the usb, it’s like getting a vinyl >

I like the USB used like a vinyl, but is way expensive that a link. Having a link is way safer and easy to do. >

Maybe they should send a floppy disk >

This would actually be an awesome idea... If the design was a bit more retro >

And if any of us had floppy disk readers >

Floppy can’t hold 8gb lol, you’d have to mail an entire crate of them >

Great idea. >

Why not providing a download link with every order? People (source - me) loose things everyday and to have a link provided with my order via email would be very handy :) >

That can also be achieved, just wanted to send something as gifts along with orders. >

How about stickers? Thumb drives are pretty much obsolete now. But stickers, stickers will never go out of style. >

I use USB sticks all the time! >

I actually have 2 that are in constant rotation of .ISO's that I use to install/format drives and computers.
I've also had like 3 that friends forgot to return after sharing files with them that were too big to be sent digitally >

I suppose you know of ventoy then? >

I actually use the disks utility in Ubuntu or Rufus for windows for writing .ISOs to USB.
I'm not particularly fond of running OSs from USB because of read/write speeds.
It does seem like it could be extremely useful though >

The design files are cool but I wouldn't do a USB for it. 
If you want to throw in an extra, might I suggest turning one into a sticker? A good quality sticker or two of it would look great and would be an inexpensive little bonus thank you. >

Save the earth. Email it >

I'd use the USB
emails are way easier to lose too >

How do you lose an email plus they’re unlimited u can just send anothee >

Honestly It doesn't sound like a great idea. Any person participating in this group buy has probably got half a dozen flash drives sitting in a drawer somewhere going unused. It needlessly adds to the production costs and environmental impact.
I understand the sentiment behind it, but it comes off as a bit wasteful. If you want to supply the files, just host them on the product page and supply a download link. >

You could always e-cycle them. But, I see what you mean. I never thought of it that way 😓 >


You could always e-cycle them.

That is true, but that puts work on the buyer and most people are not going to >

and it's better to reduce consumption in the first place than recycling later. >


It's e-waste for most people.
Just put them up for download.
No one should ever put an untrusted USB in their PC; I have no idea who might have had access to load malware onto it before it arrived in my hands.
