Unicode support in the file name can be a bonus addition.

mac and linux do not natively support ntfs,



windows does not natively support ext2, ext3 or ext4 (the linux file systems)



in fact none support the others file systems natively,



best bet is sticking to fat32 as all systems support fat32,



but as you probably know, there is a single file size limit of 4gb -1 byte so try splitting files or compressing them before you transfer to the flash drive

you need to format your thumb rigidity on the homestead windows device. i'd propose formatting to a FAT32 OS, vs. an NTFS OS. Fat32 would properly be written to by utilising the mac, the position NTFS can really be examine. So, in homestead windows, once the rigidity is plugged in flow: attempt formatting it in Disk administration. administration Panel > Administrative equipment > computing device administration > Disk administration, and format the rigidity (which will arise likely as E or F)
