Trying to find a way I can switch between Mac and windows down with large hard drives. Is exfat formatting a viable option?
 
No exfat doesn't have the same file size limits. I think it's limited somewhere in the exabyte range.
 
Is this a new feature/function? I swear I posted somewhere about this several years ago and was basically told "can't be done."
 
I use both Windows (desktop) and Mac (laptop) and have formatted all my drives as ExFAT. They can be used on either operating system with no issues. I have several external USB3 drives and a Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive and switch operating systems all the time.

It's totally doable, and works like a charm. Just format them as ExFAT (make sure there's nothing important on the drive before formatting it!)
