   I did some more searching and it seems to be a problem with /all/ Pixel   
   devices. I'm 100% sure it worked on my Pixel 6, but I just tested again   
   with my P6 and it's a no go.   
      
   Le Chat (AI) told me exFAT isn't supported anymore since December 2025.   
      
   Apparently exFAT and NTFS are owned by Microsoft and Google doesn't want   
   to pay them for support. I installed Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for USB by   
   Paragon Software and wanted to activate the (2 day) trial, but it   
   claimed I had no access to internet, which is BS. So not going to give   
   them my money. I went ahead and connected my Pixel to my PC and   
   transferred the files. Still, I'm pissed that I have an external SSD   
   with USB-C connection and it doesn't work on my smartphone anymore.
