I have a mac and a pc (remote) and i often want to transfer files from one to another using and external hd drive. Now i know that there is an app that makes HFS drives viewable on the pc (macdrive) but it wont work too well for me. So another solution is to format the external drive to fat32 which is able to receive files from OSX (Ntfs cannot because its read only when working on OSX). So my question is, will i encounter any problems using (eg. for copying files) a fat32 external drive on OSX?
 
Nope.

Well, you will lose you resource forks and metadata, but if the files work on a PC as well they did not need it anyhow.
 
You'll be limited to a maximum of a 4 GB file. Other than that, everything should be dandy.
