Hey guys,

 

I mainly use my pc to do stuff but sometimes I have to transfer big files between my MacBook and pc.

Right now my external hdd is farmated in NTFS because FAT32 can't transfer files above 5 gb.

But my Mac can't write to NTSF... Is there a disk format that can solve all these proplems?

(PS: a NAS or any cloud service won't be the solution for me)

If you're feeling adventurous there's this: https://www.howtogeek.com/236055/how-to-write-to-ntfs-drives-on-a-mac/

 

Otherwise format the external HDD to exFAT, which works with both Mac and Windows.
