As a DJ, I often leave my gear at clubs, including my flash drive containing my entire music archive. Recently, I found my flash drive moved to a different spot than where I left it, leading me to suspect that someone might have used it while I was away, especially since there was another DJ playing at the time. Is there a way to determine if someone accessed my flash drive without my permission? I'm using a Mac, and I'm concerned about the respect for my music collection.

You could encrypt your flash drive with a password using Mac's built-in options. This way, even if someone accesses it, they won't be able to see the contents without the password.
For added security next time, you could also include a simple script on the drive that logs access timestamps when it is opened. That way, you’d have some evidence if it gets used.
You might be able to check file modification dates if you haven't used the drive since that night. But without proper monitoring in place, like a special script to log access, it’s tough to be sure.
Honestly, if the drive wasn’t encrypted and nothing was modified, there’s no straightforward way to tell if it was accessed. A lot of DJs move things around quickly, so it might have just been misplaced. When in doubt, consider using a drive that locks or encrypts automatically.
