carl123 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Pretty sure it should work Try exporting again File may be corrupt if you did not dismount the flash drive properly before removing it Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Alfred Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The file systems used by default on Macs and Windows PCs are incompatible, so you’ll need to reformat your USB flash drive as exFAT. A quick look at the linked article suggests that this is more easily done on your Windows machine than your Mac.
