Microsoft licenses out exFat access, which they control the rights for. When you buy a laptop, that license is built into the cost of the operating system. Rather than include the cost of the license for something many users do not end up using, Synology leaves it up to the user whether they license that from Microsoft or not.

  1. ExFAT is a file system that was created to be used on flash drives like USB memory sticks and SD cards. The name of exFAT is an acronym for Extended File Allocation Table, which gives a hint for its precursors: FAT32 and FAT16. ExFAT is a newer version of the old FAT32 file system, and it is a middle ground between FAT32 and the more modern.
  2. Install the exFAT license. Go to DSM Package Center All Packages. Find exFAT Access and click Buy. Sign in to your Synology Account and follow the system prompts to complete the purchase. Go to Synology Account Profile Payment Purchase History to check if payment is successful and to find the product receipt.
