How to Transfer Photos from iPhone/iPad to Flash Drive

Question: "I want to take my photos off my iPhone 5s and place them on a removable storage device, a flash drive. I don't want the only back up to be on my Mac. Can this be done?"

With its amazing built-in camera, people are very fond of taking photos with their iPhone or iPad. With time and use, photos become one of the biggest consumers of your limited iOS storage. So you may want to save these photos from iPhone to USB and delete them from your device to free up space.
