Transferring files between PCs and Macs works the same as exchanging PC to PC or Mac to Mac files. File transfers work best on file formats that are supported on both systems -Adobe Illustrator files, MS Word files, or text files, for example. Occasionally, you may run into a problem with file formats that are only supported on one system not being recognized on the other system, in which case the files may not show up in the new location after you transfer them.
