If all of your computers are newer Windows computers - you would want to format them as NTFS, but if you had some Apple OS and some MS Windows computers - you would want to format them as exFAT (with its limitations - below), or exFAT. ![]() You would not be likely to copy files from one computer to another if one was Apple OS and the other was Microsoft OS (but it is possible). However, you could format the disk, and would be able to copy and save the files onto another disk (if it is another computer - you could plug it into one computer, and copy the files to this USB disk, and then unplug the USB disk, and plug it into a second computer and move the files from the USB Disk to the second computers). The "format" of your disk would need to support moving a USB Disk (like this one) from computer to another. My disk was preformatted but you could change it if needed. For all practical purposes - using the normal (current) Windows 10 OS (on all computers) and current (or relatively recent computer hardware), you would not have any problem. You can access files at any time provided that the hard disk is pluuged into the USB port, and that your Operating System supports it. To some extent - hard disk access depends upon the operating system (MS, Apple, or Linux), as well as the computer hardware. Sorry for making this a little complex, but here is a little bit more information. And this is a great disk and price for this drive at Best Buy.
