Unless the drive has some encryptiion feature that's how I've copied documents over. Also, did you try Dropbox?
I am changing laptops, Dell Inspiron XL to Win 7, to Macbook Air OS X El Capitan. I have uploaded all my files, photos and docs to Clickfree external hard drive. How can I read or download those files to my Mac?
