USB stick help, please

[SmallTownGirl]

Say I "send" all the files in my Documents folder onto a USB and then a few days later want to "send" the files I've worked on since or any new files I've made.  How do I do that, please?

I've tried Send, but it makes a copy directory of Documents, rather than overwriting the existing directory and adding the new/amended files there.

Thanks

The way I do it is:

Open the Documents folder, and list the files by date.
Open the USB drive in another Windows Explorer window, and sort them by date.

Highlight the files in the Documents folder that are new or have changed, and drag them to the USB folder.

Hum.  That would work if I didn't have quite so many files/folders.

Maybe you'd be better storing things on DropBox (or similar)?
Or drag whole folders across?

What you need is Synchronisation software.
