help with readyshare using a mac
Hi..i have a macbook and using rs700 routher with a 20tb seagate external drive connected to it buy usb. i have been converting old home movies on my mac in .mov and trying to drag them to my readysh...
i will give it a try…..thanks
Neither exFAT nor NTFS have a practical size limit (unlike FAT32, which does have a 4 GB ceiling). So it is an odd error. I guess there could be a Mac limit for SMB 1.0/CIFS.
Of course local copying is just a workaround. But it will be a lot faster (and more certain), and it sounds like you have a lot of files you want to put on the drive.
NTFS is likely read-only on the Mac (unless you have third party tools installed), so exFAT is a better formatting choice in your case.
