      I just set up my recalbox 2 days ago (still a noob) and I noticed that I can only add up to ~480MB of roms to my recalbox if I am accessing it via my pc/browser/ip.
      What do I have to do, to make it possible to use the whole (or more than 480mb) storage space on my SD Card for roms?

      Data:

      • Windows 10
      • Raspberry Pi 3
      • SanDisk Ultra 128GB MicroSDXC + SanDisk ADAPTER

      Monitoring:

      Tools used for formatting without success so far:

      • Windows inbuilt formatting tool
      • guiformat
      • SD Formatter (the partition always ends up being exfat?!)
      • Minitool Partition Wizard
      • HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool

      I always made sure that the format is fat32 and it is set to primary and/or "Format Size adjustment" is set to "on". I've searched for a solution yesterday for hours and tried nearly everything that I could find, but now I'm close to giving up.

        I didn't get how were you trying to access the SD Card, but I'd recommend you to use read the wiki/manual.
        Manual (EN) - Network features

        Windows can't read the share partition, where you are suppose to copy your roms.
