Where have all the cheap USB thumb drives gone?
It seems impossible to buy anything under 4GB
these days. Some of us like to send off photos to relatives on these drives and the large papacy is redundant. I need CHEAPER ones of about 1GB or less, just for posting off photos.

Open a "Free Tier" Account with AWS for S3 drives and you can upload your photos on it and your relatives can download them if you give them a link and access code. The drive can be made private (it is private by default) and you can generate a link to send it to your loved ones. Sending a flash drive is not save and it can get lost in the post. We have modern technology for such mishaps. Postal system is outdated. Even Christmas cards have become eCards. Saves money and good for environment. No need for postal vans polluting our air when delivering your photos. -- With over 950 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows.

What prices or bug eyed are you talking about? They are not some blind one legged lesbians hanging out on there. You really need to be realistic in life. With that sort of blinkered mindset will make you one of those old hats hanging out here asking stupid questions like you have just asked. I know what I want and so do all my recipients, all of the quality Old School. If they are from quality old schools then they should have heard of CDs or DVDs. Have you heard of them. They are still cheap and most branded computers still have CD/DVD readers. Each disk cost about 10p here in expensive part of London. If I can FEEL things then I know they exist! But the fact is you don't FEEL it so it doesn't exist and you have just tried it and got no results. Either you belong to nutters who can't find things on internet or that you expect people to do it for you irrespective of whether it is on the net or not. -- With over 950 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows.

I found you a 128MB flash drive for USD 1.83 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2016-hot-sale-real-capacity-colorful-smartphone-OTG-usb-flash-drive-8gb-16gb-32gb-64gb-pen/32622172191.html Get in quick. It looks like they are almost sold at 128MB capacity. Some of us like to send off photos to relatives on these drives and the large papacy is redundant. The number of Vatican staff is irrelevant.  I need CHEAPER ones of about 1GB or less, just for posting off photos. Below a certain capacity, smaller capacity will NOT mean cheaper. The seller still has to pay the same shipping costs and the same floor rent to stock USB flash drives, whether they are 0.5GB or 8GB. Really small USB flash drives sell so slowly that the seller ends up paying more in accumulated floor rent before the USB flash drive is sold. The *only* reason most sellers might stock such a small USB flash drive would be to sell it at a premium to someone whose device could not handle larger USB flash drives. For posting off photos you are better off buying cheaper NOT smaller, even if it has redundant capacity. pjp wrote: Plus there's lots of legacy devices won't see larger drives. I have a Fuji 609Z camera won't accept a 4Gb flashdrive, limit is two Gb. Ka-ching! What did I just write above?! How desperate are you? How much will you pay?

I need CHEAPER ones of about 1GB or less, just for posting off photos. I see them at Amazon.es. There is a filter for "2 GB or less", and I get "more than a thousand results". I see one for 256 MB items at 28€ a packet of 10 in the first page. -- Cheers, Carlos.

You can get them from branding sites e.g to get name on them, you'll need to buy a minimum number. I bought a bunch of 512MB ones earlier this year.
