Anyone know the max capacity the S8+ will read on an OTG attached flash drive?

I've got a 512gb flash drive that the S8+ cannot see. I could keep reformatting the drive over and over with different file systems and sizes to figure it out but I'm hoping someone will know...

The drive I have is like this https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-512G...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6975768

• 256 GB is the limit for the S8+, as I understand it. I remember that from when I had it, myself. That's internal and external OTG.

The phone simply doesn't see the drive. I've had both the drive and the phone for years, and I've tried a number of things. I've never reformatted the flash drive though. I'm thinking about it, but I've got a *lot* of stuff on it to take off of it first... 512GB holds quite a bit...

Have you tried it on the computer to see if it works?
