Hello, I use Xmind. I use Dropbox to save my Xmind files so that I can work on them in both my Windows 11 desktop and my iPad Pro. When I save an Xmind file from my Windows 11 desktop, it appears as a conflict copy. I work on the files alone -- there is no collaboration; therefore, I am confused as to why I continually get…

exFat support
ExFAT should come standard, no request necessary. We're in a future now where multiple operating systems and platforms are in use daily, NTFS isnt very friendly.
