About:
Paragon NTFS for Mac provides high-performance read/write access to NTFS-formatted partitions on macOS. It seamlessly integrates with the operating system, allowing users to manage files on Windows-formatted drives as if they were native. This utility eliminates the need for reformatting drives when switching between macOS and Windows environments.
Key Features:
  • Seamless Finder integration for native file operations
  • High-speed data transfer rates
  • Automatic mounting of NTFS volumes
  • Support for Windows Boot Camp volumes
Use Cases:
  • Accessing files on external hard drives formatted by Windows PCs
  • Writing files to Boot Camp partitions from macOS
  • Sharing NTFS drives between Mac and Windows computers
Alternatives:
  • Mounty – Free, open-source alternative that enables write access via the native macOS NTFS driver, though often slower and less polished.
  • Tuxera NTFS – Direct commercial competitor with similar features and performance, often preferred for its specific kernel-level optimizations.
