How to Download Movies from Amazon Prime to USB (Easy &Fast)

Amazon Prime has become the favorite of movie lovers worldwide in recent years, and its popularity is picking up. With a vast library of movies, users can almost watch anything they want on Amazon Prime. And what’s even better?

Part 2. How to Transfer Downloaded Amazon Prime Movies to USB Flash Drive

Since the Amazon Prime movies are already saved on your computer, the next step is to move them to a USB flash drive so you can take them anywhere. Just pick the method that works best for your operating system.

Note: Before you transfer them, you’d better check if there is enough available space for the USB to store the MP4 files.

 

Transfer Amazon Prime Movies to USB on Windows

Step 1. Insert your USB flash drive into your PC. Make sure the USB is properly inserted into your computer and recognized. Open “This PC” or “File Explorer” to confirm that the USB appears as a drive (e.g., “E:” or “F:”).

Transfer Amazon Prime Movies to USB on Mac

Transferring downloaded Amazon movies from your Mac to a USB drive is easy, but first, make sure your Mac has a port that matches the USB drive. If your USB drive uses a Type-A connector and your Mac only has Type-C ports, you’ll need an adapter to connect them.

Step 1. First, plug your USB drive into an available port on the side of your Mac (It will take a few seconds to recognize it).

Step 2. Press the Finder icon in the bottom bar to open it. In Finder, you can see the drive in the “Location” section in the sidebar if it’s recognized successfully. Now open it.

Press the Finder in the Bottom Bar

Step 3. Next, hit View Output File on the Finished tab of Amazon Prime Video downloader. And you will see all your downloaded movies.

Step 4. Drag the files you want to transfer on the output folder to the USB drive directly. Or you can use the keyboard shortcut Command + C to copy the downloads and then paste them to your USB with Command + V.

  1. Right-click on the USB drive and select “Properties.”

FAQs About Downloading AMazon Prime Movies to USB

How to Download Purchased Movies from Amazon to USB

Like Amazon Prime streaming videos, purchased Amazon movies can only be watched offline in the Prime Video app. If you want to transfer them to a USB for permanent storage or to watch on other devices, you’ll need TuneFab VideOne Amazon Downloader to download the purchased movies in common formats like MP4, and then move them to your USB.

 

Why Can’t I Move Amazon Movie to My Flash Drive?

If you find that dragging your downloaded Amazon movies into the USB folder doesn’t work, it could be because the file system of your USB drive is not compatible with your computer’s operating system. 

Windows supports USB drives formatted with NTFS, EXFAT, or FAT32 file systems, while Mac supports APFS, EXFAT, or FAT32 formatted USB drives. 

If you’re using an APFS-formatted USB drive on Windows, the system won’t recognize or use it. On a Mac, if the USB drive is formatted with NTFS, the system will only recognize it in read-only mode, preventing you from writing files to it. 

In this case, you’ll need to reformat your USB drive to EXFAT (FAT32 is not recommended because it limits file sizes to 4GB) to successfully transfer your Amazon movies to the USB.

 

Conclusion

To sum up, according to what has been said above, getting your desired Amazon videos onto a USB flash drive isn’t that hard but having the right downloader makes all the difference.

As we’ve discussed, TuneFab VideOne Amazon Downloader emerges as a reliable option. It effortlessly grabs movies from Amazon Prime Video to high-quality MP4/MKV/MOV files and downloads videos at 5X speed, which sets it apart in the crowded market.

Once all the movies are successfully downloaded, you can easily transfer them to your USB for storage or seamless playback on other devices like your TV or car.
