Now I can move files there just like I can to a folder that's on my internal drive. I could double click here and I could just select this one here in the Finder and it will show me what's on the drive. To see the contents on the drive all you need to do is select anyone of these.
You could also choose Go and then Computer to go to the same location and there you'll see the drive. I showed you here there's a link to it right there. You can also see the drives that are attached by going to the main computer level.

Here you can see my two external drives plus the USB flash drive. I prefer not to have those shown on the desktop but a lot of people do. Go to Finder, Preferences, and then go to General, and then look for External Disks under Show these items on the desktop. Now if you don't see the drive appear on the Desktop it could be that you have that option turned off. Finally there's the USB drive that I've just plugged in. The second one is my internal hard drive. If you see nothing under Locations like that move your cursor over the word Locations and to the right you should see a Show button and then it will show everything there. In any Finder window it should appear on the left under Locations. So once you plug the drive in you should see it appear in a number of places. But these things are pretty cheap so a lot of times it may just be worthwhile to just buy a new one that fits your current Mac. For instance if you have an older USBA drive then you can simply use a USB Hub to connect it or get a converter. If you're mismatched you're going to need an adapter. So you want to make sure you get the right connection for the Mac that you have or get a flash drive like this one that has both connections. Now this device actually slides so it will have USBC coming out the other end. Newer Macs use a use a smaller USBC connector. Older Macs use USBA which is this rectangular connection you see here. First you want to make sure you have a USB drive that will work with your Mac.
