Pretty much, just a case of connecting something which uses a file system the OS vendor doesn't refuse to support. No way will MS and Apple support each other, nor EXT4 or XFS or such.

I understand that FAT32 is the least incompatible, probably only because Apple needed to be able to read the common USB flash memory.

With an adapter you can plug your xbox controller into your android phone as well.

It is a pain on Linux as well. For those users; you can pull the PPA or use an App Image called "Android File Transfer". It is ugly and buggy but it works.

he said exfat

max file size on exfat is 16 Exabytes , more bits than the water molecules in the pacific.

1 exabyte (EB) = 10^18 bytes = 1,000 ^ 6 bytes = 1000000000000000000 bytes = 1,000 petabytes = 1 million terabytes = 1 billion gigabytes

1 billion gigabytes!!!

16 exabytes is 16 billion gigabytes!
==============

RedCobra, if your PORN COLLECTION has a single file bigger than 16 billion gigabytes, you are definitely never going to play it in this lifetime
