What format do you use for best compatibility between Mac OSX and Ubuntu? Is there a way to use an encrypted memory stick on both OSs?
I tried to format my memory stick in EXT4 in Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome or in mac and use it in both OSs, but this did not work. The main problem was that when I formatted the stick in mac and tried to open it in linux, the permission was read only, so I could not add files to the stick. I tried to change file permissions using
But access was denied. So I formatted the stick using Gparted and tried to open it in Mac OSX, but it did not recognize the format.
The only format that worked for both was FAT but the problem is that the max size of files transferable is constrained.
