An exported .drp file is fully compatible. Just relink the sources.
My disaster protection: export a .drp file to a physically separated storage regularly.

What Uli said.

Right click on the "Master" bin, choose "Relink Clips for selected bin" and point it to the main folder where your content is. Resolve will re-link everything in a flash. The other person will have to do the same once they get the project back.

What do you mean?

He can export it as a DRP or DRT. You can bring that file in. You will likely need to create a drive mapping (i.e. "Mac drive name" = Windows drive letter) configuration in your Resolve.

Or, if the source media is shared / organised using the same folder structure, just map the mount points and no-one has to relink anything.
