Writing to RaspberryPi as a flash drive - is it possible?
Hello.
I have a measuring device that takes measurements and saves a csv file with measurements to a USB flash drive once a day.
I need to connect a RaspberryPi instead of a flash drive and receive a csv file on it.
What is the best way to do this?

And what methods of switching does the device have in general?
If the device can save the file to an arbitrary location, and not just to a USB flash drive, then mount the resource from the raspberry pi to this location (via sftp/smb/webdav or another protocol). This can be done even in Windows.
If it does not know how to save to an arbitrary place. That is to find or write a simple program that monitors changes in a file and transfers it to the RPi after a while.
If there is also an option so that the RPi pretends to be a usb-storage device, but it is more complicated, and not the fact that it is more reliable.
