I'm dual booting Arch with Windows on my laptop since I need to use Windows for MS Office. For those who dual boot, particularly between Linux and non-Linux OSes, how do you share files? Do you:
use a removable medium like a USB stick,
use a partition on your hard drive that's formatted so both OSes can read it (e.g. NTFS for Arch/Windows),
use a cloud service,
or another way I've not listed?
I think I'm gonna make an NTFS partition, but I'd like to hear what you do.

I set my router up as a NAS with an external 2T spinning drive (Asus router running Merlin firmware). I mount things as sshfs or smb on Linux. On Windows, I use SMB or a sftp client. SMB on Android.

Plz use
ntfs-3g
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ntfs-3g/
Not plain ntfs.
Move or copy anything to be shared between the two in this ntfs-3g partition.
In Arch your fstab maybe will look like this
/dev/sdx /mnt ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
Plz see also
man ntfs-3g

NAS.
This way I can access the data from random systems - HW, OS or SW (http, ftp, nfs, cifs, dlna, mpd, icecast…) doesn't matter.
