Paragon NTFS for Mac®
Paragon NTFS for Mac is a PreferencePane extension for macOS System Settings that enables full read-write access to NTFS (New Technology File System) formatted external drives, USB sticks and partitions on Mac. NTFS is the default file system for Windows, and macOS natively supports only read-only access to NTFS volumes. This extension allows Mac users to mount NTFS drives with write permissions, making it possible to transfer files between Windows and Mac systems seamlessly. It is used by professionals and home users who regularly exchange large files or work across Windows and macOS environments.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionParagon NTFS for Mac is a PreferencePane extension that lives inside the main Paragon NTFS application — it is not a standalone product and cannot be updated through System Settings or the Mac App Store on its own. To update this extension to a native Apple Silicon build (if available), you must update the parent Paragon NTFS application itself through Paragon-Software's own installer or account portal. Visit the Paragon-Software website, log into your account, and download the latest version of Paragon NTFS for Mac — the installer will automatically replace both the main application and the PreferencePane with their current native-compatible builds. If you are unsure whether your current installation includes native Apple Silicon support, contact Paragon-Software support directly. Note that Apple will be removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so if Paragon NTFS for Mac does not ship a native Apple Silicon build by then, the application will stop functioning on that macOS release.
