exFAT is natively supported by OSX and Windows (even XP!) the only thing was to make it work with Ubuntu. So here we go: Execute these commands one by one sudo add-apt-repository ppa:relan/exfat sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install fuse-exfat Now we are able to manualy mount exFAT-formatted drives. To automate it we have to install couple more things: sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev sudo apt-get install util-linux Everything should be working nicely now Troubleshooting : If repository cannot be added: sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:relan/exfat If install failed, because of fuse-utils: sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils
