Hi. I'm a beginner. Prompt you can configure ESP32 DevKit v1 as a USB flash drive?

Unfortunately no, as the ESP32 does not have a USB interface.

The USB connection that this board provides is via a UART-to-USB adaptor to one of the ESP32's UARTs, so you will.only get access to the CDC ACM device.

Other chips (i.e. much of the STM32 family and NRF52840, and the soon-to-be-released ESP32-S2) have a USB interface built into the main processor, so they can do things like emulate a mass storage (MSC) device.
