I strongly dislike moving removable disks between computers, especially with differing operating systems.
I would instead recommend getting/building a NAS aka file server and using the network to share files, or make backups, or whatever.

Hi,
One of my clients has a mixed Linux/Mac OS/Windows environment in his
office.
He just purchased a 4 TB external hard disk, which he intends to use on
his
various workstations.
Up until recently, I've been using plain old MBR/FAT for hard disks in
mixed
environments. Fire up fdisk, make one big 0b type partition, and then
format it
using mkdosfs.
Unfortunately, there's a 2 TB limit to that.
Of course, I could still use a GPT partition, but then I'd still have
to
format
it using a "common denominator" filesystem, e. g. FAT... which is also
limited
to 2 TB as far as I know.
So what now? Use Windows 10 to format the disk using NTFS? This,
Windows
and
Linux could use it, and I'd have to check if Mac OS can manage NTFS
file
systems. A few years ago, it didn't.
Any suggestions?
Maybe UDF?
