ModeratorHello Baerliner! 👋
Thanks for reaching out! Old versions of 1Password used a legacy sync method that would allow you to sync a vault using a file folder. This legacy sync method was deprecated in favour of modern sync using 1Password.com which offers more features, automatic encrypted backup of your items, and is much more secure.
As opposed to the old sync method which only used a single password, data stored in a 1Password account is protected using both your account password and your Secret Key: About your Secret Key

Was there a particular reason why you wanted to use a USB drive to store your vault? While this was something offered in the past, 1Password has moved away from it because of the usability and security limitations that this sync/storage method posed in comparison to modern sync.
