“Can I use an external Lacie hard drive formatted for APFS (Mac) to view my media? thank you”

1-1 of 1 Answer

• A: Not directly. The SHIELD TV Pro (Android TV) doesn’t support Apple’s APFS format. It can only read drives formatted as exFAT, NTFS, or FAT32. To use your LaCie drive: • Option 1: Reformat it to exFAT for full compatibility with Mac, Windows, and SHIELD. • Option 2: Keep it APFS and stream over your network instead — e.g., enable SMB file sharing on your Mac or run a Plex server and access the files through the Plex app on your SHIELD.
