How to file share with partner’s Win10 machine?

Looking for best way to securely share our family files from my Mac to my partner’s Win10 machine. Looking at iCloud as best solution but open to other ideas. So they can add files to my iCloud, using the folder structure I’ve set up. So 2-way sharing is a good description.

Thanks!

Or OneDrive. No need to get more complex, unless you want it contained on premises, in which case a cheap NAS would work – and give you a common backup device.

cheers, Paul

I believe this may hold what youre looking for, networking MacOS to Windoze and vice versa is, in my experirience, some what easier and some what harder if your used to Windoze networking. While apparently you can set the networked Volumes to “automount” on Boot, I tend not to.

Only issue is with MacOS Monterey and previous if file shaing does not work, then merely undo all the changes in network settings and “redo” them and lo and behold it should work. Hope that works for you, for individual file\folder sharing after you have networking setup you can set up individual file\folder sharing on MacOS simply by right clicking and selecting “share file” box  and of course same by selecting “share”  on Windoze as well if you dont want to share a full user account or “Root” definately a preferred option security wise.
