I downloaded files from an old company computer to an external USB device, can the company tell which files were copied or only that I copied files?

most likely they can't tell exactly what you did. – dandavis Jul 29 '17 at 00:07

While the question itself is not exactly the same, the answers still fully apply: Can my employer see what I do on the internet when I am connected to the company network? – WhiteWinterWolf Jul 29 '17 at 09:57

1Possible duplicate of How to detect if files were saved or copied from an external hard drive/USB?. It's quite unlikely that they will know what you copied, unless they use DLP but they probably will know that you attached a USB device, since most enterprises log that. – Jedi Jul 30 '17 at 03:27

This depends on how they might go about checking it, if for example they where to use a full Forensics examination then there would be registry information stored for, when the device was connected. And from there using a software such as FTK or EnCase it would be possible to see the signature of that devise and potentially follow the files signatures and path.

however, this would only tell them that the device was plugged in, it would not tell them if any files were copied – MikeSchem Jul 29 '17 at 01:31
