Should i convert my hdd disk from ntfs to fat32

[Android Central Question]

I would like to use my External Hard Drive with all my devices (PC and Android devices).

I have read that Android only supports fat32 configured (formated) HDD / USB. - But there is a problem - doesn't fat32 support storage only up to 32 GB. I have 2TB disk, so this option isn't suitable for me, right?

However, I have found another solution (which is not the perfect solution). An app called exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software and Total Commander do the trick - so you don't have to format the disk, but it is kinda weird - why only TC sees the HDD, but other apps don't?

Could somebody please explain that to me and offer any useful suggestion to this.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers.
