What do you keep on your flash drive?

I'm sure this is a repost, but I didn't find anything on a quick search. A post in Memory and Storage got me wondering what everybody keeps on flash drives that they carry with them, and what size drive you carry. I read EDC Forums from time to time, and they have a thread like this where people said they have all kinds of stuff on their thumb drive like copies of driver's license, insurance documents, medicine lists, etc........ Personally I kept important info on mine for a little while but got paranoid about losing it. Now it's just computer repair software and other programs I might use from portableapps.com and some movies/TV shows on a 32GB Kingston DTSE9.

So, what saith ATOT?
 
64GB USB 3.0 drive

I keep about 40GB of movies and TV and basic drivers for my computer as well as a W8.1 pro ISO.
 
Just a few important docs.

I don't use flash drives that much anymore. I currently use google drive, dropbox, and one drive. The best part is I can pull out my smartphone or tablet and access my docs anywhere. I can't do the same with a flash drive, unless I'm near a computer.
 
Mostly use them for Linux distros and moving secure files around when local networking is being salty. I don't really trust cloud services for obvious reasons.
 
Whatever drivers for whatever last system I reformatted that didn't have generic nic drivers available. Maybe some outdated antivirus/malware tools. The USB drive itself helps hold down my dresser because I never remember to put it in my pocket
 
Only thing I use flash drives anymore is mainly hardware drivers to be installed after loading an OS onto a computer. (assuming network drivers aren't built-in)

Everything else is on NAS.
 
Nuclear launch codes.

Sadly, my lack of friends limits me to only being able to turn one key.

Lucky break Canada...
 
A massive collection of outdated portable apps I never use. About a thousand pictures/gifs I thought I'd like to look at again in the future. Apparently a full backup of my server that I should probably delete.
 
Lubuntu live install, Windows portable apps, and misc files. It's a 16gb drive, and I keep it in my wallet. I also have a 512mb drive with PartedMagic on it, and use the remaining space for misc files.
 
I have Hiren's Boot CD on mine for repair work as well as other files that I need to give to friends.
 
I have a couple. One is for a backup of stuff I'm working on, another is wallet backups for several cryptocurrencies, another is Xubuntu, another is Mint, and the last one is a bunch of portable apps (mostly from PortableApps.com).

I also have a flash drive for shuttling files from computer to computer as needed, but I think I lost it. I have to stop buying the smaller ones, I tend to lose them or accidentally wash them. 😱

I've got a 64gb flashdrive on my keychain.

use it to transport large files from my house to my BF's (dvd/bluray rips mostly)
 
several 16gb-64gb 2.0 and 3.0 sticks all with Yumi boot with misc linux distros, loaders, tools recovery tools.

one 32gb for movies on the tv. TV over LAN is so slow and buggy.
