With everybody and their grandma shoving their cloud into your face, I’m happy there still are flash drives for sale.

The thing I really want to see more are USB-C thumb drives. It seems they’re all usb-A or large SSD drives for USB-C. A tiny keychain sized C would be awesome.

Silicon Power does have some solid options with small A and C sticks. I have even some with micro usb inside the A connector in addition to C.
