Currently exFAT is not supported by Sailfish due to licencing issues. Unfortunately it is the native format used for all microSD cards bigger than 32GB as shipped and the default format from Windows and Mac format tools.

VFAT32 supports cards >32GB but is not an option in the Windows format UI. You can from the DOS CLI however. On the Mac, you can format a 64GB card as vFAT32. The caveat being you can't then have files larger than 4 GB.

Neither Mac nor Windows support Linux file systems but do support exFAT.

For mainstream acceptance it's imperative that Jolla licence exFAT.
