What is DriveDroid?
DriveDroid allows you to boot your PC from ISO/IMG files stored on your phone.
This is ideal for trying Linux distributions or always having a rescue-system on the go... without the need to burn different CDs or USB pendrives.
DriveDroid also includes a convenient download menu where you can download USB-images of a number of operating systems from your phone (like Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE and Arch Linux). Around 35 different systems are available at this moment.
You can also create blank USB-images which allows you to have a blank USB-drive. From your PC you can store files onto the USB-drive, but also use tools on your PC to write images to the drive.

Said about DriveDroid as an alternative
Rufus helps you to create a bootable USB, but with Drivedroid you only need to download the iso image and you will get ready to install the whole USB.
A very efficient tool, to create bootable drives, by only using your rooted android phone, connected to your computer by USB. Extremely useful, already saved me multiple times.

Ugh, the first tag of "no root required" reeled me in...IT'S NOT TRUE: ROOT IS REQUIRED.
