When I transfer a folder FROM my Mac To a Windows machine by a flash memory, on the Windows system there are hidden files with the same names as the original files inside the folder. If I choose that Windows not to show the hidden files then they become invisible. When the folder contains a huge number of files then the scene is awkward and confusing and sometimes people think that there are malwares on my flash memory.

How can I get rid of these hidden files when I transfer folders from Mac to Windows?

  • @Monomeeth @Community That other question talks about Spotlight/Trash files. @amin-r seems to be talking about resource forks. Which aren't covered by that question. You know the files which look like ._ExampleFile.psd that sit beside regular files? – Alistair McMillan Feb 28 '17 at 16:42
