This Ghostbuster Ghost Trap from Dave's Geeky Ideas is an ingenious way to trap and store your files. Unfortunately, there is no need to fire any Proton Guns in order to do so. However, I suppose you could change your [mouse icon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d-mouse) to a Proton Gun if you really want to recreate the process.

The concept mimics the iconic Ghost Trap that was used to capture ghosts in the movie. The USB even opens and closes in a similar fashion to the way it does in the movie. Dave even included the red flashing light in this concept.

[Novelty flash drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandisk-crayola-usbc) have become incredibly popular since its entrance into the tech market. They are often known for creativity and this Ghostbuster Ghost Trap example is no exception.
