I'll start by saying that I've tried to search for this issue, but there's a lot of different seemingly conflicting info out there.
To put it simply: I want to mount my MicroSD card on my phone and have it behave like any other storage unit without any size restriction.
After first mounting the card I tried transferring a large file but it gets stuck at 4GB. I read it could be because of the file format on the MicroSD card and people were recommending exFAT so that's what I did.
I mount it on my PC and reformat from FAT32 to exFAT. Only problem now is my phone doesn't recognize the card any more, it say blank or unsupported format.
I also read that it could be because the USB file transferring (MTP) doesn't allow larger than 4GB, so you see there's a lot of different info.
So I guess the question is what do I do here? Is it possible to make this work? Why the hell is a file size limit even a thing in this day and age...
