Syncing Via a USB drive?

On July 18, 2023, I came up with the idea of sync'ing Joplin on a thumb drive. And it looks like someone already had that idea and tried it three years ago. I was hoping to find out:

#1. If KittyShipperCaveGirl ever got this sync'ing Joplin thru a thumb drive to work consistently.
#2. What would be the best method of doing so, if "KittyShipper" couldn't make this work?

I just installed Linux Mint 21.2 on a laptop with my main Joplin use on a Windows 11 desktop. In short, I'm unsure if I will continue to use Linux but in two days I will shut down my Windows 11 computer for 2-5 days and use the Mint laptop as my primary computer as a test of how it will affect my computer life. And I'm just a guy who uses computers for fun and hobby stuff.
If I continue to use Linux on a regular basis in the future I will use the Joplin Cloud Sync plan ... at least that is my plan.
