Can Windows *Folders* be Moved Onto a Mac?
There is a Windows XP system that's being retired. It's being replaced by a Mac.
A USB flash drive will be used to transfer some files. In this case, a large directory of My Pictures with lots of folders.
So, of course, I'd like to copy the folders with their names onto the Mac.
My Pictures has been copied onto a USB flash drive but the Mac doesn't seem to see any picture files. (I've noticed that many of the folders are devoid of any picture files and that may have thrown me off).
Can I do this? How? I'd like to make sure I'm approaching this in a way that will work as I only have brief access to the Mac. Everything I've read refers to *files* and nothing to *folders*..... re: Windows to Mac.

There are many ways but I was starting with a USB flash drive - so some answers were more pertinent. Thanks all!
The transfer process wasn't as simple as I might have expected. I had to do something like "import" pictures even though the files were there (the number of bytes was OK) the files weren't visible until this step was taken.

You can even run it free on your mac for 30 days. just install windows on your windows side access the drive
make some folder on the mac and transfer the files.
