But most often USB Mass Storage connects a real FAT32 partition (even if OS etc is on Ext4), because Mac, Windows and Linux all can understand Fat32. Some Macs can't do NTFS unless driver added. Windows certainly has an optional driver for Ext2, but by default no Windows reads any Ext FS.
Fat32 has no permissions.
