“Can I back up my Mac and PC files on the same external drive? Meaning can I store both and be able to access both on the same drive?”

• I'm no expert and you might want to ask one about this. I'm currently moving files from a PC to Mac and I have used my Easysotre for both. When you put files on the drive it has to be formatted for that computer (Pc or Mac) but the files that are on the drive can be retrieved from either computer. So one of my Easystore drives is formatted for PC and I take folders from my PC put them on the drive and plug the drive into my Mac and I can copy the files to a drive on my Mac but I can't take a folder from my Mac and put it on that Easystore drive. I have another Easystore drive that's formatted for Mac and I can store files from my mac on that drive. I hope this helps and does not make it more confusing.

• Yes, but you have to partition the external drive. One partition formatted for windows and one partition formatted for Mac.
