Memory stick corrupting and deleting files

Empsey

Hi all,

Would really appreciate your help on this. My stick keeps corrupting and deleting files. I work on numerous different pc's and when I go to the next one and open up a previously edited document it is deleted or corrupted. Any advice on how I can prevent this from happening? I am safely removing my items also. I am at my last nerve with this and using dropbox also but do not always have internet access to download same.

Really appreciate any help

The simple answer is buy a new memory stick from a reputable supplier.

Do not edit the files direct from the usb stick, copy the file locally, edit the file then copy it back overwriting the original

Thanks I was planning on doing this but just wondering why it was happening in the beginning

If the memory on the stick is failing then corruption can occur.
