hello
so i have a 1TB hard drive and I need to format it in such a way it will work on both windows and mac. I've tried all formats and i don't remember if they ever worked because before I just used the hard drive for transferring files, but now i need to store files.
I tried fat32, exFat and MS-DOS formats from both the pc and mac. When I copied folders from the mac and connected the hard drive to the pc, they opened normally but when I connected it again to mac the files were in .VOB and in pc, they were .trashes shortcuts. and this happened with each format.
Windows always asks to scan and fix my hard drive which also ruins the folders. And I read somewhere that the fat32 format doesn't allow you to have folders more than 4gb but a folder of a few mb too got ruined.
I need a format that lets folders be as big as 70gb because a lot of my folders contain 720p shows.
Thank you so much and help would be super awesome!
