Send to Drive

Send to Removable Drive adds a context-menu action to quickly copy files or folders from VS Code to a removable drive (USB stick, external SSD, SD card).

Right-click any file or directory in the Explorer and choose Send to Removable Drive to transfer it to your connected drive without leaving the editor.

Features

• Explorer context-menu action for files and folders.
• Copy to a detected removable drive in one step.
• Works with multi-select (when supported by your implementation).
• Simple, lightweight workflow.

Usage

1. Insert a removable drive.
2. In the Explorer, right-click a file or folder.
3. Select Send to Removable Drive.

Notes

• If multiple removable drives are connected, the extension may prompt you to choose one (depending on your settings/implementation).
• Copy behavior (overwrite/confirm) depends on your extension’s configuration.

Requirements

• Windows OS (uses wmic to detect removable drives).

Extension Settings

None.

Known Issues

Packaging

To package the extension into a .vsix file:

1. Install vsce globally:
