Plan Ceibal has created an Activity "Leer Pendrive" which simply displays the contents of removable devices as a GTK file chooser and lets people copy selected files to the clipboard, from where they can be pasted into the Journal. I understand there was a big demand for this. I followed this up with my own Activity, Sugar Commander, which lets you copy files directly to the Journal without using the clipboard. I understand that this Activity has a following and is routinely included on XOs in Australia. Neither of these Activities allow you to copy from the Journal to a thumb drive, and there is a legitimate need to do this.

The beneficiaries of this feature will be teachers, older students, and others who need to deal with thumb drives and SD cards and move data in and out of the Journal.
