Sharing files and folders between Windows and Linux (in a dual boot)
While it is possible to access your Linux partitions in Windows, it is a buggy solution at best. You cannot easily add or modify your files without relying on software that is no longer actively developed.
Rather than risk your files, there is an obvious solution for most users who need to share files on dual-boot PCs. Instead of relying on outdated software, you can create a shared “pooled” drive that both operating systems can safely access using the NTFS file system.
While it’s true that you can use your existing Windows partition, this method comes with risks. You won’t be able to isolate your files if you later decide to wipe that partition, which might be necessary if you get infected with ransomware, for example.
