Can I share files between my Macbook Air and my Windows 10 PC with a usb-c adapter?

I am trying to edit high-quality YouTube videos using iMovie on my Mac. However, it does not have enough space to export the video. So I tried connecting my Mac to my PC using a usb cable and a usb-c adapter. Strangely, it showed in the file system, but the files weren't showing, the computer was named "New Volume," and when I tried exporting, it said "Could not create a file." Can I somehow connect my MacBook Air to my PC, even if all the MacBook has is a usb-c port? I did use a usb from a portable hard drive, but it should've worked fine, since my PC showed up in the file system, but as new volume instead of its name. How do I fix this if there is a way to fix it?

I don’t think PC work in target disk mode so what you’re looking for is a network to enable file sharing from the Windows PC.

Once Windows shares a folder via SMB connect from the Mac.

You want proper two way sharing to export and place more than one file. Many online guides are more for bulk transfer of all data once. For your case, durable sharing is the way to go.

Or get a USB external drive to export the files. That is simple and portable and cheap. Relocating files so you have enough working free space is the power move here for efficiency. Store primary material and archival footage elsewhere so you can use your fast internal storage for the primary job is my best advice.
