Transferring Files from iCloud to Mac to USB:

You can most certainly do so on a computer. Not so certain about a flash drive. If they are in iCloud, then you can export all of iCloud to the flash drive. Simply select the flash drive as the output source. Then, search for these files by file extension (mp3)using Finder on a Mac or Windows Explorer on a PC. Finally, drag and drop all of these from the Mac to the flash drive. See my User Tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip
