# File Systems | ||
|
||
The app currently makes the following assumptions: | ||
|
||
- NTFS is used on Windows | ||
- APFS or HFS+ is used on macOS | ||
- EXT4 is used on GNU/Linux | ||
|
||
On those 3 platforms, using a file system with similar path restrictions, case | ||
and unicode normalization sensitivity as the assumed one(s) may work (e.g. | ||
using EXT3 on GNU/Linux should work although we don't officially support it). | ||
|
||
On other platforms, using a file system with similar path restrictions, case | ||
and unicode normalization sensitivity as EXT4 should work too (e.g. using EXT4 | ||
on BSD should work too). | ||
|
||
Please note that all FAT versions are currently unsupported. | ||
|
||
In case you're successfully using another platform (e.g. some BSD flavor), or | ||
GNU/Linux with another file system than EXT4 (e.g. BTRFS or ZFS), your | ||
feedback is welcome! | ||

| FAT | | won't work | | ||
| HFS+ | **macOS** | **supported, testing should be back soon** | | ||
| HFS+ | GNU/Linux | won't work | | ||
