    How to partition the SD for sharing large files between Mac and Android?

    Hello,
    Let me introduce myself, I am owner of an italian Xoom, I have the 3g version, I've on 3.1 Honeycomb. Nice to meet you, I am a regular reader of this forum and this is my first post!
    I have a doubt and I asking your help: my Xoom is fully functional. and also loads the SD with no problems. I bought a SanDisk 16GB MicroSD-HC and I would like to load it on files larger than 4GB (limit expressed by the FAT32 partition). What can I do?
    I've tried partitioning in exFAT, but Android does not see it. I also tried with ext2-ext3-ext4 but the only result was:
    "Card damaged" or "blank SD" or things like that.
    I own 2 Mac and I'd like to share my big files on them with my Xoom.
    Any suggestions? Please do not suggest to me buy an iPad, thanks! : D



    Ciao

    Maucromio!

    Welcome to the forum. I doubt anyone around here will suggest you buy an iPad.

    Buy an iPad......

    In Honeycomb, the file size limitation is 4GB...... You will be limited to that if your Xoom is involved in the transfer.

    Well, I've been wrong before.

    For compatability I personally don't suggest partitioning and/or formatting the micro SD card in anything other that FAT. USB drives with other filesystems should work well though.

    This. With the capability to hook up an external drive I would forget about doing it with an sdcard.
