Eject USB Memory stick eject or "Unmount"? Minix Neo U1

I have just put a USB Memory stick in one of the USB ports and now, I can't find the Eject Button :) Is there One to eject the USB memory stick and if so.. where would I find it?
Thanks
 
Look for Storage in Settings.

I guess you aren't using the MINIX Metro Launcher. If you switch to it you should see the USB device in the top RH corner. As far as I remember you can eject it there.
 
I am using the Minix Metro Launcher that came with the U1 ... I do not recall seeing an eject icon... you say it should be on the top right... what should it look like?

Top Right, I have an SD card and a USB flashdrive. Select one to Eject.

The other method is...

Settings, Advanced Settings, Storage, USB storage, Unmount shared storage

Bingo... Villa... another excellent answer from you to help... and Yep.. I see it now and see the same screens... It is a 32GB USB3.0 Sandisc formated to NTFS ... I set the download location to a file folder in the folder and It works... now I'll removed it and give that a try.. but am sure it is as you said and I do appreciate your help.. by the way, is there a maximum file size I can put on that stick? (per file)....
 
I don't know if that's okay? I just pull the sticks off and slowly count to 30 then I plug it back in and it works for me in Android and Windows.

It's not an ideal scenario as it can lead to data corruption/loss. All of the mainstream OS's have the facility to safely eject external media for very good reason, (regardless of type). Use it!!
 
The plot may not be good. Thanks.
But please think about it, if you accidentally unplug the stick, it must be secured in such a way that neither the device nor the software can break.
I've been doing this for a long time and have never had any problems. I noticed that the system resets the USB port itself after these 30 seconds, thus reading it in again when plugged in.
If that's not good, you should write a tool that supports something like that. Automatically.
Then you no longer need to search in the system where you can remove
