I have a 1TB internal HDD which I formatted to EXFAT / GPT to share between Mac and Windows. The problem is when I add, remove, move or generally change around files on one OS it doesn't reflect on the other. Oddly enough whatever changes I make on each respective OS, those changes stay consistent on that OS only. To clarify:
Say I'm on the Mac side and I have folder A, B and C. If I make a folder D and delete B and then go over to Windows I see A, B and C. The B folder still exists and the D folder doesn't.
It's like the HDD is keeping two simultaneous records for each individual OS using the same space. This can't be right. The only way I can temporarily "correct" the issue (sort of) is if I change something on the Mac side and then boot into Windows I can make Windows "snap out of it" by going to Disk Management, taking the drive Offline and then bringing it back Online.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I use EXFAT on an external drive and I never have this issue (probably due to Windows method of disconnecting and reconnecting external drives). I have no idea what to do. The HDD is in perfect health as per HDD Regenerator and CrystalDiskInfo. Thanks in advance for any help on this matter!
