[/vc_column_text][woodmart_title size=”medium” align=”left” tag=”h3″ title=”Data Loading”][vc_column_text]Our Data Loading service is FREE up to 500MB and included in all our service packages upon your request. Additional charges may apply if your overall data size exceeds our Free data threshold.[/vc_column_text][woodmart_title size=”medium” align=”left” tag=”h3″ title=”What format should the data be in?”][vc_column_text]If you are sending the data by email, FTP or providing a download link, then data should be provided as one .zip folder. Upon receipt, we will unzip the folder and add the resulting contents onto each Flash Drive. This way the data will retain the exact folder structure you intended. If you are sending the data by post on a CD, DVD or Flash Drive then there is no need to zip the data.

Please be sure to know the size of your data, to be sure it will fit on the drive size that you purchase. The chart below will show you what the estimated usable capacity will be on the size of USB you choose:

Please be sure that your files are organized how you want them to appear on the drive. This includes file names, formats and folder structure.

PLEASE NOTE: Any changes requested after submitting your preloading materials may result in multimedia development fees & time delays.[/vc_column_text][woodmart_title size=”medium” align=”left” title=”Standard Data Loading”][vc_column_text]We can preload any data file to your custom shape USB or the logo usb flash drive (i.e. software demo, music, photos, PowerPoint slideshows, movie clips, and PDF product brochures). With basic data loading, files can be removed by users to free up flash drive space. Check out “Non-Erasable Content” options if you want to prevent your content from being removed.[/vc_column_text][woodmart_title size=”medium” align=”left” title=”Non-Erasable Data Loading”][vc_column_text]

Any files loaded on the USB Flash Drives can only be read and opened, but not erased by the user. There are two options:

Fully Locked: This completely prevents the user from adding or removing any files. The flash drive would only be used to share the content that you choose to add.

Partitioned: Only a section of the flash drive is locked (enough to store your data). The rest of the space on the custom flash drive can be used to store the user’s personal data.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][woodmart_title size=”medium” align=”left” tag=”h3″ title=”USB Capacity Guide”][vc_column_text]How much information can a custom USB flash drive really hold?

[/vc_column_text][woodmart_title size=”medium” align=”left” tag=”h3″ title=”How do I send my data files to you?”][vc_column_text]

• Less than 10MB: Send by email. If the data is below 10MB in size, you can email it straight to your USB Canada account manager. Please send the data in a single .zip folder if possible (especially if there are several files).

 

• 10MB – 2GB: If you have larger data to load you can use free online data service providers such as Dropbox or Wetransfer.  Simply provide a link for us to download your files: If the data is too big to email (e.g. more than 10MB) then you can provide us a link from which we can download it if you have access to your own web space. The link should be to a single .zip folder containing the data. Some customers prefer to give us login details to an FTP location from which to download the data.

 

• >2GB: Send by mail or FTP. You can post us the data on a CD, DVD or USB Flash Drive for data sets larger than 2GB. Please send the data to the following address:

Suite 214,
