Transferring to personal storage

Hi,

is it possible to find out which files have been transferred to a personal storage, e.g. usb thumb drive?

Thanks,
James

The logs, in your console, might tell you that a copy operation happened, (although I don't think so) but no way to go into detail about the names of files.

So, the answer is - Yes, you can find out which files were copied to a USB thumb drive, if you have the thumb drive.

The problem is that nothing happens to the copied files, unless the "copier" then deletes the original files.
So, nothing you can do after the fact, assuming this is a security issue of some kind, other than exercising more security - changing passwords, not leaving your computer unattended, etc, etc.

James, just open the thumb drive and see what files are there.
