To use an external drive interchangeably between Macs and PCs, format the drive exFat. Both Macs and PCs can read/write exFat formatted drives. If you already have data on the drive, make sure you save off the data before formatting.

Alternatively, you could sync your data using a cloud service like iCloud, etc.
