I always assumed .DS_Store was equivalent to thumbs.db, as multiple comments have pointed out, but it got me thinking: I move files and browse shares between Windows and macOS all the time - why do I (and it seems like everybody else) always notice .DS_Store files, but never notice thumbs.db files? Does Windows not consistently write it to attached storage? Does macOS respect Windows' hidden flag on shares? Is there some other practical reason?

- happytoexplain 6y agoWell that would explain it.
- GeekyBear 6y agoEven when they were in use, Windows hid thumbs.db files from you by default, just as Macs hide .DS_Store files from you by default.
