USB flash question

[tjones9163]

Hello, let's say that I buy a brand new thumb flash drive and I download content onto it. Let's say a jpeg file and I happen to loose my flash drive. If someone finds it, is there any way to track the origin of the computer that downloaded the content. In other words, can they tell that it came from my computer?

No, not from the drive itself.
Metadata in the files and images may lead to more info than you'd like to leak out.

Is there a particular concern for this?

No, not at all. Just curious.
