USB Copy Protection

USB Copy Protection Services for Secure Content Distribution

USB Copy Protection Example Drive

Protecting valuable content on removable media doesn’t have to be a gamble. With
USB copy protection from USB Copier, you can distribute files on flash drives
while controlling how they’re accessed, shared, and used. If your intellectual property has real value,
keeping it in your hands—and only your customers’—is the point.

Our platform is powered by Nexcopy’s CopySecure technology: purpose-built USB media that pairs
hardware-level control with digital rights management (DRM). Files are written to a secure,
write-protected partition that can’t be reformatted or erased. Users can open the content,
but attempts to copy, print, or rip can be blocked per your policy.

Cross-platform support is standard. Your protected content works on Windows and macOS without
extra setup, making the solution ideal for training programs, software distribution, and
document delivery where consistency matters.

How Our USB Copy Protection Service Works

Ordinary USB drives behave like blank paper—easy to copy, easy to lose control. Our
USB copy protection service writes your files to a secure partition that enforces
your rules: no copy, no print, no drag-and-drop. You decide what’s allowed; we enforce it on the device.

USB Copy Protection FAQ

What is USB copy protection?

It’s a hardware-assisted DRM solution for flash drives that prevents files from being copied,
printed, or exported while keeping them viewable by authorized users.

Does it work on both Mac and PC?

Yes. Protected content runs on Windows and macOS without requiring users to install extra software.

Can users move the files off the drive?

No. Files live on a secure, write-protected partition. Copy, drag-and-drop, and reformat actions are blocked.

Can you stop screenshots or phone cameras?

Screen capture can be reduced in some workflows but cannot be eliminated universally. We focus on blocking
direct digital copying, printing, and ripping—where most leakage occurs.

Can drives be reused with new protected content?

Yes. We can rebuild the protected partition with your next release so you keep using the same physical media.

What’s the difference between write protection and copy protection?

Write protection makes the drive read-only; copy protection controls how files are used (copy/print/export)
even though the user can open them. Many projects combine both.

Do you offer passwords or expiry dates?

Both are available. Add a password for access control or set an expiration window for time-bound content.

What capacities do you recommend?

For documents, 4–8GB is common; for mixed video, 16–64GB is typical. We’ll size media to match your masters
and budget.

Bottom line: if you need a dependable USB copy protection solution that preserves user access
while locking down distribution, we’re ready to help.
