The two complications I can imagine might be:
1. The path separator character is '/' on macOS and Linux, but '\' on
Windows. That might mean that the path which one of those two writes
might be unusable by the other.
2. The platforms store some accented characters e.g. é and ü,
differently. If some of your directory or file names include those
particular characters, what one platform writes might not be legible to
the other platforms.
[There is technical detail about "some accented characters" which I
could explain further if there is interest.]
