How do I read a USB drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT32)

it should read it native it should show up in finder as an usb stick and you should be able to view the files on it

no special actions should be required

Just plug it in.

macOS and windowsOS can both read and write an MS-DOS FAT32 drive, which makes it OK for cross-platform sharing.

We are not mind readers! What exactly do you want to do with the drive...?

1. read files someone has on the drive

2. use the drive for backup

3. use it for a doorstop
