   Is there a quick and easy way to transfer pictures from one computer to another computer?
   
   One thing: My CD drive is broken. Also, I've got several folders of pictures, wanting to know if you can transfer or send a whole folder. I've considered emailing them to myself, but it would be tedious if I do one picture at a time. Is there a way to send a whole folder through email.

   You might be able to put the pictures into a zipped file and email that. You might also be able to put the pictures up in an online cloud drive. Google, Windows, and Amazon each have about 5 gigs of free storage space online.
   
   Or if you have a usb memory device that would be very simple.

      I was thinking zip file, I've received them but never sent them. I'm not savvy with all of what you mentioned, but I do believe I understand the usb memory device; it's a small plug in if I understand correctly. That might be a good option. Thanks!

      Yeah, if you have the USP memory device that will be very easy. Just plug it into your computer, locate it, then move your pictures onto it.

   Yes! You can do this by making use of a flash drive, copy the folder containing the picture to a flash drive, the insert the flash drive into the second computer and copy the picture for the flash drive, it's a fast process, easy and safe. Hope this answers your question?

      I had to think about it a minute, but I remembered what a flash drive is; and I think they're relatively cheap. That sounds good; I'd just plug it in, copy the folders to the flash drive, plug it into the other computer, etc. Makes sense! Thanks!

   You could download dropbox and transfer them that way.

      Wow, I never heard of dropbox, but I just Googled it, and it looks fantastic. It looks like a simple and easy way to get it done, I didn't even know the service existed. That looks like a very good way to go.
