About:
extFS for Mac by Paragon Software provides seamless read and write access to Linux ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems directly from macOS. It allows users to mount and interact with these volumes as if they were native to the operating system, eliminating the need for complex workarounds. This utility is essential for users who work in cross-platform environments or need to access drives formatted on Linux systems.
Key Features:
  • Full read/write access to ext2/3/4 partitions
  • Automatic mounting of connected drives
  • Intuitive menu bar interface for volume management
  • Support for large file sizes and high-capacity drives
Use Cases:
  • Accessing files on Linux-formatted external drives or USB sticks from a Mac
  • Sharing data between macOS and Linux systems on a dual-boot machine
  • Reading and writing to NAS devices or Raspberry Pi projects formatted with ext4
Alternatives:
  • FUSE for macOS + ext4fuse – Open-source alternative that typically offers read-only access and requires manual setup via the command line.
