I have a video camera with built in memory, but my computer won't upload them becuase I don't have any free space. Everything I have on my computer I want to keep, so if I get a portable hard drive, how do I transfer everything? Can I connect my camera directly to it? or do I have to upload it to my computer first?

Answer
portable hard drives, like a flash drive, you plug in USB and just drag the files onto it.
