The USB connector is configured to be coupled to the USB bus. The USB flash memory device further includes a folding portion which is proximal to the USB connector and enables the USB flash memory device to be folded. According to the present invention, data storage information of the USB flash memory device and additional information such as current time and data storage time can be visually determined through the display window, even in cases where the USB flash memory device is not coupled to the host platform. Further, the folding portion of the USB flash memory device enhances space usability and efficiency.
