Microsoft NTFS is one of the primary Windows file systems. If you work on a Mac computer and need to read or write files from HDD, SSD or a flash drive formatted under Windows, you need Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software.

Mac OS X has always been able to read NTFS drives, but tucked away in Mac OS X is a hidden option to enable write support to drives formatted as NTFS (NTFS stands for New Technology File System and is a proprietary file system format for Microsoft Windows). Paragon NTFS for Mac® is the world’s fastest application, achieving speeds of native drivers, with OS X El Capitan support! Volume management tools allow formatting, checking and repairing NTFS volumes. Install it and let it go. It’s that simple.

Write, edit, copy, move and delete files on Microsoft NTFS volumes from your Mac. The solution is fast, seamless, and easy to use. Mount, unmount, verify, format or set any of your Microsoft NTFS volumes as a startup drive.

How it works

Just as simple as that

Use cases

Read and write NTFS-formatted data

The truth is: you can't read or write data from Microsoft-formatted from macOS. If you employ Microsoft-based drives and would like to access data from NTFS-formatted storages on Mac, you need Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software.

NTFS for Mac grants you with access to write, copy, edit, move or delete files on Microsoft NTFS-formatted drives from your Mac:

• Mount, unmount, verify, format or set any of Microsoft NTFS volumes as a startup drive
• Mount in read-only if you need to access sensitive data without modifying any files
• Managed through the Windows system tray or from Windows CMD
• Automatic or manual mount option
• Quick restart of your Mac from the menu bar in Windows
• Intuitive, Apple user friendly interface

What is FUSE for macOS?

FUSE for macOS allows you to extend macOS's native file handling capabilities via third-party file systems. It is a successor to MacFUSE, which has been used as a software building block by dozens of products, but is no longer being maintained.

Features

As a user, installing the FUSE for macOS software package will let you use any third-party FUSE file system. Legacy MacFUSE file systems are supported through the optional MacFUSE compatibility layer.

As a developer, you can use the FUSE SDK to write numerous types of new file systems as regular user space programs. The content of these file systems can come from anywhere: from the local disk, from across the network, from memory, or any other combination of sources. Writing a file system using FUSE is orders of magnitude easier and quicker than the traditional approach of writing in-kernel file systems. Since FUSE file systems are regular applications (as opposed to kernel extensions), you have just as much flexibility and choice in programming tools, debuggers, and libraries as you have if you were developing standard macOS applications.

How It Works

In more technical terms, FUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on macOS. It provides multiple APIs, one of which is a superset of the FUSE API (file system in user space) that originated on Linux. Therefore, many existing FUSE file systems become readily usable on macOS.

The FUSE for macOS software consists of a kernel extension and various user space libraries and tools. It comes with C-based and Objective-C-based SDKs. If you prefer another language (say, Python or Java), you should be able to create file systems in those languages after you install the relevant language bindings yourself.

The filesystems repository contains source code for several exciting and useful file systems for you to browse, compile, and build upon, such as sshfs, procfs, AccessibilityFS, GrabFS, LoopbackFS, SpotlightFS, and YouTubeFS.
