Hi,
It is very easy, u just have to use FolderListModel, here official doc:

As any other file in any other place you can use QFile

@VRonin I have used that to copy files to the USB but now I want to read those files from USB I mean I don't want to copy back to PC I just wanna see what is inside that folder.

Yep, that's what QFile, QDir and friends do

@VRonin But i can't read those files its just like moving them to one place to another with QFile. I want to read file this time but.

QFile myFileOnUSB("D:/FolderOnUSBDrive/someFile.txt");
if(myFileOnUSB.open(QFile::ReadOnly | QFile::Text)){
QTextStream textReader(&myFileOnUSB);
QString line;
while (textReader.readLineInto(&line)) 
qDebug() << line;
}
