Guys - question about the new APFS - when 'High Sierra' is released, I plan to upgrade my Mac laptops w/ SSDs which will automatically convert their file systems to Apple's new one from my reading of this thread & the links. My wife's iMac has a fusion drive (and will await Apple's decision as to how they may handle these spinning drives - and I'm planning soon to replace that computer w/ a new one which will have a SSD) which I may not upgrade to 'High Sierra' unless that option exists and is considered a safe transition?
But my question is whether apps, such as updated Pages, Numbers, & Keynote writing to the new APFS can exchange their files w/ the older HFS+ if still on our iMac; of course, the issue may apply to other apps - my initial thought is that the files will be interchangeable, but if not then maybe yet another PITA? Just thinking about my old days w/ Windows and updates/upgrades to Word & Excel. Dave
