You absolutely nailed it! I was frustrated last night because I couldn't change ownership or permissions on the thumb drive, but obviously had ownership of the laptop's SSD. The thumb drive was either NTFS or exfat, I think. I tried reformatting through Ubuntu (ext4?) and couldn't even get the drive to show up on my computer. So I formatted the thumbdrive as FAT32 on my chromebook, reloaded by movie mp4 file and it immediately showed up.
I am ripping my movies on my windows desktop and will ultimately store them on a 5 gig Seagate USB drive. If FAT32 ok for that? I've heard FAT32 is not good for large files, but these movies are typically not very big as mp4 files.
Thanks so much for your help.
Edit....I've got several movies loaded now and it looks great. I'm very happy.
