I’ve just set up my new chromecast with googletv and in the process, I was asked to format the connected flash drive (via a USB-C hub). I’ve done this before so I pressed format with the intention of later connecting it to my computer to transfer roms, apk’s etc. Problem is my mac won’t recognise the drive 🤦🏻♂️. The strange thing is, prior to formatting it, it was connected to my Mac as I was backing up files from my old google tv.
How do I get my Mac to recognise the USB drive so that I can transfer files to it? I don’t have access to a PC right now.
When formatted as device/adopted storage instead of removable storage it formats it in such a way that it can only be read by the device it was formatted on. This is a security feature as it prevents private/app data from being read.
You can put the files on a network share then use something like FX file explorer to copy them across
