Paragon NTFS for Mac ® OS X
Paragon NTFS for Mac is a file-system extension and preference pane for macOS that enables read-write access to NTFS-formatted external drives and USB storage devices. NTFS is the primary file system for Windows, and macOS natively offers read-only access; Paragon's driver removes this limitation, allowing Mac users to fully edit, delete and manage files on Windows-formatted volumes without needing to switch to Boot Camp or a Windows PC. The preference pane is installed as a system extension and appears in macOS System Settings to manage driver behaviour and mount options.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionParagon NTFS for Mac is installed as a preference pane system extension, not a standalone app, so it cannot be updated separately through the App Store. Instead, you must update the main Paragon NTFS driver product itself through Paragon's own installer or update utility. Visit Paragon Software's website, log in with your Paragon account, and download the latest version of Paragon NTFS for Mac for your macOS version. Run the installer, which will update both the core driver and the preference pane automatically. If you installed Paragon NTFS originally through a vendor subscription service (such as a Paragon toolbox or suite licence), check whether updates are available through that vendor's subscription portal instead. Since no current native Apple Silicon build status has been confirmed and the September 2028 deadline for macOS 28 is approaching, contact Paragon directly if you are unsure whether your licence includes a native build — they may offer a separate native installer or an upgrade path.
