I have a personal iMAC and a work Dell, running windows 10. I need to be able to use the iMAC when I work from home and save files to my external hard drive than can then be seen, read and edited using my Windows work computer... and vice versa.
I thought that partitioning the external was the best way to go, but after backing up my MAC using Time Machine, once I connect the external to my windows computer, it can only see the ExFAT formatted drive, which from there formatted that to be NTFS. Should I not have partitioned the drive?
Again, I need to be able to create a design file using adobe CC on either my MAC or PC and have that be read and editable by either machine. Is this possible without using a third party formatting solution? I've heard maybe bootstrap could solve my problem...? I just need to know the best solution from someone who knows what they are talking about because I have zero clue how to problem solve this and I am exhausted of the various ways Google is telling me to do it.
Please help!
Thank you!
