I recently purchased a 1TB T7 external SSD mainly for photo storage. I plan to leave it connected to my PC. I have Carbonite Basic for back-up on the PC. So far, I have read that Carbonite doesn't support the exFAT file system. Only NTSF or FAT32. Can I change the format, and which one would I change it to? The PC is running Windows 11. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Flash2 ,

You can format the T7 to any format style you want to use, But since you are using Windows 11 and Windows preferred format style is NTFS, I'd recommend using NTFS format in this case, so that it works well with your backup software and windows.

My Portable Drive Storagedoesn't recognize my password. I got mine to back up my photos on phone. Now I have pay Microsoft $1.06 every month for cloud space because Google Cloud on phone doesn't work with Samsung Cloud. The later holds documents. I still can't use portable drive storage.
