How To Prevent Files From Being Copied To USB Devices 

With AccessPatrol’s USB drive file transfer blocker you can prevent files from being transferred to a USB flash drive based on filename, extension, or removable device type.

AccessPatrol is a USB locker tool that prevents data theft via USB ports by restricting removable storage access and limiting the file types that can be copied to removable disks.
