I've considered using a thumb drive but is there a better method?

Is it possible to maintain directories?

Not Apple if that matters.

Thanks much in advance.
Move everything to iCloud then you never have to worry about data loss or transfer from one device to another. I love it as I can travel north and can still have all of my files available to me. I also created a recipes folder, scanned in my fav recipes and then I always have them when I am north. Definitely worth the move. It’s like $2.99 a month for 500gb. And since you’re not Apple, you can One Drive instead of iCloud.
