Very difficult to get a hard drive that works between both.

 

They are formatted with different file systems. one is FAT and the other is NTFS.

 

Might be worthwhile using onedrive or google drive 

Macs can read FAT or pretty much any type of disks.

Format it on the PC and you won't have a problem going between machines for storage use.

It's PC's that can't read the Mac file format.

I've got a variety of external drives.

But assuming the computers got USB 3, any bog standard Toshiba or Samsung should do the trick for 50 odd quid for a 1TB model.
