You would need USB host mass storage support for that, which MicroPython doesn't have. The pico is capable of being a USB host, in principle, but atm you would need to write C code for that.

I don't know if anyone's done any work to connect the WCH CH376 and CH378 using MicroPython. They add USB hosts to really small systems: one of them is used as a hard drive emulator for the Apple II, so if it can work with a 6502 at 1 MHz, it won't be a stretch for MicroPython
