Find and select your USB-memory in the list

Click the "Properties"-button below

Select the "Policies"-tab on the new requester

Choose "Optimize for performance"

Click "OK" on the requesters

This should allow you to use FAT32-formatting on your USB-drive, but don't forget to repeat the process and set it back to "Optimize for quick removal" once you are done formatting!

But remember, FAT32 only allows files up to 4GB in size and can't handle soft-links or permissions. Trasferring files over network and formatting as ext3/4 makes the microSD much more useful.

This trick not worked for me on WIN 7...
Also I have formatted to ext4 on ubuntu, but phone still can't see it...

P.S. Ok successfully formatted to ext4 -> created 2 folders -> inserted to the phone -> trying to see this folders on the phone (file manger), but it not show them, it go to system sdcard..
I did the same with FAT32 and now I really see it on the phone, but when I connect my phone to PC as mass storage, I can't see this card... Why ?

But I can see it on WinSCP via wifi (/run/user/100000/media/sdcard/test777)
