1. Using External Storage (USB Drive/SSD)
Format the drive as exFAT (compatible with both Mac and Windows) to transfer files seamlessly. Avoid NTFS (read-only on Mac) or APFS (incompatible with most PCs).
2. Cloud Services (Easiest for Frequent Sharing)
Sync files via Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox. These work natively on both systems and allow real-time collaboration. Enable "Offline Access" on PCs/Macs for faster editing.
3. Local Network Sharing
Mac to PC: Enable File Sharing (https://iboysoft.com/wiki/mac-file-sharing.html) in Mac System Settings (SMB protocol), then access from Windows Explorer via \\[Mac’sIP].
PC to Mac: Share a folder on Windows (right-click > Give access to), then connect from Mac Finder (Go > Connect to Server, smb://[PC’sIP]).
4. Email or Encrypted Tools for Small Files
For quick transfers, use WeTransfer (large files) or password-protected ZIP archives (macOS/Windows built-in support). For sensitive data, Signal or ProtonMail offer encrypted file sharing.
