FAT32 limitation

[Hitherwood]

The FAT32 limitation is a real pain! I have a lot of stuff on a portable USB drive (NTFS) that I would like to carry with me.

Is there any way to embrace either EXFAT or NTFS?

This is one of my previous comment from another thread (Android OS - USB-Sticks):

I use Total Commander with plugin Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software (one-time purchase for lifetime). I connected sucesfully flash drive Patriot Supersonic Magnum 2 512GB formatted in exFAT (not FAT32). When I connect it with Gemini via adapter (USB type C to USB-A), I open plugin, mount it, and then I can easily access all content on the flash drive, copy and move between Patriot and Gemini. It is true transfer speeds between laptop (with NVME SSD and USB 3.1) and flash drive are around 300 MB/s, but between Gemini and flash drive transfer speeds are around 30 MB/s. But it is working, it takes only few seconds to start transferring data.

Many thanks - it works very well and is a life-saver. I made the full purchase at £9.99 and found that it also binds into File Manager+ which I find easier to use than Total Commander. Can now read my NTFS cards and drives.
