Transfer file from Mac to Windows?

[CardParty]

If I am collaborating with a friend who is using RPG Maker MV on a mac, and I have RPG Maker MV for windows, can we share and both open the same file. 
Or will a Mac RPG Maker MV file not open on RPG Maker MV for Windows?
Are there bugs when sharing a file like that?

Thanks for reading,

The data files are just JSON files. Therefore it should be possible to easily do. However there may be bugs depending on who is working on what, if you are both working on items, there is only 1 items file. All items are stored in Items.json. You would need a diff/merge software to merge the files together. So while working with multiple people working on the game directly is possible,  it may be best to avoid working on the same parts.

Edit: Please be aware that I used Items as an example, pretty much all database related objects have 1 file associated with them.

Thanks for the response Liquidize.
So there would be no problems if we took turns working on the game? For example, I work on the game, change a few items, then send everything to my friend. He makes changes to various parts of the game then sends the whole thing to me.
In this way there wouldn't be multiple JSON files for the same thing? And we would be in the clear?

You should be. Correct, you need only both have the art/assets used and the data files.
