Aug 1, 2016 6:17 AM in response to larryfromoxnardby léonie,You can transfer image files on a drive formatted Fat-32. Both the Mac or a PC can read files on this format. But don't dump all files at the top level. Create a folder on the drive and write the image file into that folder.
Avoid very long filenames, and filenames with ethnic characters.
But do not store any photo libraries on a FAT formatted drive. iPhoto Libraries, Photos Libraries, aperture libraries require the file system MacOS Extended (Journaled).
