If you run
obexpushd
from a location on the flash drive then any files it receives will be saved there.

yes, as long as the drive was set up priory to starting the obxepushd server from that drive, that you could do on boot or key press or time or any other trigger. You may be able to start the server on detection of a specific drive.– robMay 22, 2014 at 16:04
