Cross Platform Use
You can set up G-DRIVE USB for use on both Windows and Mac systems by formatting the
drive as ‘ExFAT’. To do this, use the Disk Utility application and format the drive to ExFAT.
1. First, open the Disk Utility program. This application is located on your hard drive under
Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. The window below will appear. Your G-DRIVE USB will
be displayed in the left-hand column.
2. Select the G-DRIVE USB by clicking on its drive icon in the left-side column. Information
about the drive will be displayed at the bottom of the window.
3. Select the Erase tab to view the formatting options. By default, the Format pop-up menu is
set to the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) option.
