ESP32 Forum

Is it possible for the ESP32 to use the new NTFS MicroSD card format, so that file names can
be longer than 8 characters ? If not why? Is it something that can be updated in the future? if so when?

Not currently, but if all you want is longer filenames, [V]FAT can also have that, and the ESP32 can use them if you enable support for long file names in menuconfig.
