Introduction

FAT32 is a simple filesystem with limited capabilities. Although the Intellectual Property Rights belong to Microsoft, the format specifications are made available publicly. Nowadays the FAT32 filesystem is mostly used on portable devices such as thumbdrives, external hard drives and SD cards.

Warning

It is not recommended to use FAT32 as a filesystem for any long-term-storage solution as it lacks basic features such as permission control and journaling.
