I want to view files on my USB stick which are larger than 4GB so the USB stick is NTFS form. When I connect and look at the drive in my files app it says it's "read-only", so I couldn't view the files. I read elsewhere that this is because the drive needs to be in FAT32 form. But I cannot load the files onto the drive if it is in FAT32 because it doesn't allow anything larger than 4GBs.
I seem to be a bit stuck here. What can I do?
iPhone 12
Format the drive as exFat instead of FAT32 or even a Mac format such as HFS+ if possible. iOS devices cannot access NTFS drives as that is a Microsoft proprietary format.
exFat will let you store files larger than 4GB.
