Absolutely. People do this kind of thing all the time.

If you're transferring very large quantities of data though, you may want to consider linking your computers together via their Ethernet port, using a crossover cable. Use the network setup wizard to configure both on a workgroup, then transfer files via a shared folder. Your data transfer speeds over your Ethernet connection will be immensely faster than what a USB port can manage.

But if the thought of setting up a little network like that sends shivers down your spine, you can use a flash drive to transfer the files. It just takes longer.
 
I just recently bought a laptop and a flash-drive/thumb-drive. I have a computer (a desktop) at home and I still have to transfer things like pictures, written documents, videos and ect. If I plug in my thumb drive can I add files to it, then plug it into my laptop save files to my laptop, delete the files and keep doing that until all my files are transferred? I hope so because the other way takes way to long and I need my files ASAP.
