Google TV and USB Storage drives with NTFS

[andyferdean]

I've been trying to use some expansion storage devices with my Chromecast with Google TV but none of my NTFS formatted drives work. They only work if they are FAT32 formatted.  This is a weird decision from Google, why is it that hard to support this format?

Any plans on accepting NTFS formatted drives on the Google TV Chromecast?

Hey there andyferdean,

I am sorry to say, but I have not seen any news of Chromecast with Google TV accepting any different drive formats besides FAT32. What I would recommend is submitting feedback to Google regarding your interest in supporting more drive formats, so that way they are more aware of the need. 

I'm sorry I wasn't to provide a better answer, but if you had any more questions or concerns, please let me know. I'm always happy to help out.

Best regards,

Jeran
