Do you target a specific device? If yes then you can use File.Exist with the USB path.

Save file to USB device

Hi,
my intention is to save a text file to a usb flash drive. i can specify the exact folder name and file name on the usb device. So i think what you mean by your answer is to check if the specified file exist on the usb to identify if USB drive is plugged in? I need to know how to refer to a USB drive? do we have drive name same like in computer?

The OS should automatically mount it. Use a file explorer app to find the path.
