Formatting My Device
Your device will need to be formatted during initialization, before it can be used to store files.
If initalizing on Windows, you will be given the option of formatting the PRIVATE USB drive as either
FAT32 or exFAT.
Options are for Windows operating systems only - macOS will automatically format to FAT32
•
FAT32
–
Pros: Cross-platform compatible (Windows, macOS, and Linux)
–
Cons: Limited individual file size of 4GB
•
exFAT
–
Pros: No file size limitations
–
Cons: Microsoft restricts usage by license obligations
After initialization, reformatting the PRIVATE USB drive will erase all your files and your Application List,
but will not erase your device password and settings.
Important:
Before you reformat the device, back up your PRIVATE USB drive to a separate location,
for example, to cloud storage or your computer.
To reformat a device:
1. Unlock your device and click
Settings
on the menu bar of the DataLocker Control Panel.
2. Click
Tools
on the left sidebar.
3. Under Device Health, select the file format and click
